Bengal tiger population growing

Tiger numbers on the increase. For a change some good news. In a world where it seems almost all wildlife faces some threat or another I was thrilled to read that Bengal tiger numbers have grown. Plundered and hunted all through the 20th century to the present day any increase in their numbers no matter how small is wonderful news. It's all down to authorities acting to protect these beautiful animals from the ever present threat of poaching which sadly will probably never be eradicated. As demand for the tiger bones, body parts and skins grow and prices climb it's not hard to see why poachers get involved in this ghastly trade. Serious global efforts to save tigers from extinction are showing that they are actually starting in recover and I applaud all the hard working dedicated people who have helped make this happen.
