Study says government counts of tigers in India are inaccurate

in India, where most of the world's tigers still live. These include sample surveys to map the presence or absence of tigers throughout their range. For important reserves that contain tigers, park personnel should use "encounter-rate" surveys, which monitor tigers by counting samples of not only tiger tracks, but also other signs. Such simple indices can track tiger numbers adequately for management purposes.

Lastly, in a few critically important reserves where there is need to know actual tiger numbers, the use of advanced techniques such as remote "camera-traps," and measuring prey densities is essential, the paper argues.

The Wildlife Conservation Society is working to save tigers throughout their range, with field conservation projects in not only India, but also the Russian Far East, China, Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia and Malaysia. Earlier this month, at its flagship Bronx Zoo headquarters, WCS opened "Tiger Mountain," a spectacular three-acre, interactive tiger exhibit that links zoo visitors with some of these field conservation efforts.
