Tiger Conservation Through Project Tiger In 1972 Project Tiger was initiated to bring certain tiger conservation plans into action. The main aim behind Project Tiger was to protect the Bengal Tigers living in several regions of India. To achieve the mission of tiger conservation they set up several tiger reserves. The tiger reserves had the responsibility of maintaining natural environment of the regions where tigers dwelled the most. For several years The Tiger Reserves representatives covered the area of nearly 37,761 km² and were able to bring the population of tigers from 1,200 in 1970s to 3500 in 1990s. However, when the Government of India did a survey in 2008 the tiger population was estimated to be only 1,411. This was announced as a major setback, to rectify the loopholes in the activities of Project Tiger regarding their overall tiger conservation activities the Government requested for a donation of US$153 million. Some of the areas where the fund will be used extensively to further strengthen tiger conservation activities include: A high tech information network is needed by the wildlife protection and crime risk management team of Project Tiger to deliver maximum protection to the fields where tigers live. The huge portion of the fund will be allocated to develop several technologies which would help the representatives to gather, maintain and make proper use of the data and also to watch over the tiger conservation areas through Mapping and GIS modeling. The activities of some of the units such as Sunderbans Tiger Conservation Unit, Central Indian Tiger Conservation Unit and Western Ghat Tiger Conservation Unit will be strictly monitored as these are the areas where tiger population has reduced rapidly. A satellite data will be set which will keep an eye on the tiger habitats. Further activities for tiger conservation will include education the villagers on tiger conservation so they also help in saving the almost extinct species. The Project Tiger is hopeful that with proper use of the fund and more international help they will be able to save the tigers in the coming years.
