19. India just experienced a massive tiger boom — but the species is still threatened

          Everyone is aware of Tigers are an endangered species, however India has announced that their tiger population has gone up 30%, from 1,706 in 2011 to 2,226 in 2014. This amazing increase serves as a testimony to what can be achieved by the and why more tiger reserves should be created says Indian Environment Minister. However the success does not mean that the work is done and everybody can relax. The tiger population diminished by poaching, habitat destruction, lack or prey and other factors still need to grow. Which brings to light more pressures to; "Infrastructure development has to happen, but we can compromise a little on our growth.” In regard to future tiger population growth.
          This article serves to inform as well as to reassure that the replenishing of diminished animal populations is not a one way street. After all, all that is heard is that their are more and more endangered species, this news is among the first of its kind, humans are not having an effect on the endangered community this time fr the better. The article filled with quotes from wildlife preservers showcases their hard work and efforts in achieving this once far fetched goal that now seems within reach.
