    Endangered tigers making a 'remarkable' comeback

    https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbea…

    In 2010, there were as few as 3,200 wild tigers. But now five countries - India, China, Nepal, Russia and Bhutan - have given hope for the future.

    In India alone, the number of wild tigers is now estimated at between 2,600 and 3,350 animals - which makes up around three-quarters of the world's population.

    Neighbouring Nepal has seen its population of tigers is up from 121 in 2009 to 235 just under a decade later.

    And it's the same story in Russia, Bhutan and China, where increased sightings of tigers suggest conservation efforts are working.
