Increase in tiger population [1]

HYDERABAD: A week-long effort last month to conduct a census of tigers showed a slight increase in their population from 102 last year to 106 in 27 protected areas of the State, which are all sanctuaries.

Senior forest officials explained that the population could be higher if the entire land mass of the State was taken into account.
