While the conservation of tigers is emphasized in protected areas throughout their range countries, the species continues to be distributed in forests of varying protection status, and in habitats that span international borders.

NEW DELHI: Amid reports of decline in tiger population across the country, positive news has emerged from the once-neglected Valmiki Tiger Reserve in Bihar, along the India-Nepal border.
At least eight cubs have been born in the reserve since 2005, including two new cubs whose sightings were reported earlier this month, according to the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI).
