Alarming rise in tiger, leopard deaths in country in first six months

 

2 July 2021

NAGPUR: With 94 tiger and 310 leopard deaths in the last six months, an alarm is being raised over the rise in numbers. During the same period last year, 56 tiger deaths were recorded as per the data recorded by the official website of National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA).

A review of half-yearly data compiled by Wildlife Protection Society of India (WPSI), an NGO working to combat wildlife trade and law enforcement, shows the increase in deaths is shocking as overall tiger deaths in 2020 were 109 while those of leopards 653. “With six months still to go, the number of deaths may further go up,” says Nitin Desai, Central India director of WPSI.

The figure of 94 tiger deaths in the last six months is quite high.
