Dear Tiger Friends! I am happy and proud to say that the Mike Sarnitz Tiger Project has contributed a bit to the increase
of the tiger Population in Asia. Although the contribution is only a fraction of many other activities from governments and
sponsors. It is great to announce that after a century of constant decline, the number of wild tigers is on the rise!
According to the most recent data, around 3,890 tigers now existin the wild—up from an estimated 3,200 in 2010.
We can attribute this updated minimum number—compiled from national tiger surveys—to rising tiger populations in
India, Russia, Nepal, and Bhutan; improved surveys; and enhanced protection of this iconic species.
