Project Tiger Kanha
Project Tiger was launched in 1973 with nine tiger reserves covering an area of 16,339 sq.km., which has increased to 37,761 sq.km. in 27 Tiger Reserves. The budgetary provision of the Government of India during 1973 was only Rs. 23 million, which has increased to 230 million during 2000-2001.
The idea was to try and bring tiger numbers back to safety, for it was found that only 2,000 tigers existed all over the country! If this step had not been taken, the tiger would almost certainly have been wiped off the face of the earth! For almost twenty years, they managed to help these animals, and there were more tigers in the wild than ever before.
But tigers are now in trouble all over again. It is sad that the success of Project Tiger is dimming today because in many cases, the government itself is cutting down the tiger's home. Poachers are also very active and they are believed to be killing on average one tiger everyday in India.
