Behaviour change conservation campaign for improved human-tiger coexistence in Nepal
2023 Oryx (57): 11-11
In 2010, with a total of 121 tigers _Panthera tigris tigris_, Nepal committed to double its tiger population by 2022 as part of the TX2 St. Petersburg declaration, along with the other 12 tiger range countries. According to the Nepal National Tiger Survey 2022, the tiger population is now 355. Negative human-tiger interactions have, however, also increased. Tigers are occupying greater areas, and territorial fights amongst them are increasing. Dispersing tigers are using marginal areas, increasing the likelihood of encounters with local people collecting forest resources.
