ABSTRACT

The primary goal of this research paper is to analyse the Tiger Conservation Plan in India and its effectiveness, which aims to protect the world's largest population of tigers from habitat loss, poaching, and human-tiger conflict. Through a review of literature and analysis of data, the paper examines the strategies used in the plan, including protected area management, community participation, and scientific research. The results of the plan are evaluated through the latest tiger census conducted in 2018, which shows an increase in the tiger population in the country. The paper also discusses the challenges that remain in tiger conservation, such as habitat fragmentation and climate change, and offers suggestions for future research and policy development. This paper concludes that the tiger conservation plan in India is a successful example of conservation efforts that involve a combination of protected area management, community participation, and scientific research. The plan has increased the population of tigers, reduced human-tiger conflict, and reduced poaching. The continued monitoring and adaptation of conservation strategies are essential for the long-term survival of tigers and their habitats.
