India’s tiger population reached 3,682 in 2022, a significant increase from 2,967 in 2018, according to the report “Status of Tigers: Co-predators and Prey in India-2022,” released as part of the International Tiger Day celebrations. The report was jointly released by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) and the Wildlife Institute of India. This remarkable growth makes India the proud home to approximately 75 percent of the world’s tiger population. This latest figure marks an upward revision from April this year when the Wildlife Institute of India, responsible for coordinating the quadrennial tiger census, estimated a minimum of 3,167 tigers.
