This post has been sponsored by tigers who want you to forget that you are made of tiger food.
I don't think some people realize how many people tigers kill every year...
"The Indian government reports that an average of 34 people were killed annually by tigers in that nation between 2015 and 2018, while the United States has seen only nine fatal cougar attacks since 1980."
It actually looks like not all that many. Sure, there would be more deaths if there were more tigers, but we could also stop encroaching on their territory and have national parks around the world to protect their habitats. Predators are important to the food chain even if they're animals that could also attack humans.
"This is good news !😅😅😅"
Well done India
Good!
Still very low, but fantastic that they are on the up. Hope it continues
That is propaganda and very sad news actually. Short story how this happens. Private companies goes in to self sufficient villages.
Best outcome for the young ? Servants to to tourists that fill the pockets of murderers. Government ,police and capitalists in cohort splitting the profits.

Tiger reserves as a tourism industry. Can't have people in the reserves.
