“For the first time after decades of constant decline, tiger numbers are on the rise,” said Marco Lambertini, director general of WWF International.
“This offers us great hope and shows that we can save the species and their habitats when government, local communities and conservationists work together,” he said.
WWF released the data ahead of a major tiger conservation meeting that kicks off this week in India.
The three-day Asia Ministerial Conference on Tiger Conservation brings governments together to report their progress on the Tx2 goal. Tiger-range countries agreed to double wild tiger numbers by 2022 at the 2010 Tiger Summit in Russia.
