India's tiger numbers are rising. Protecting their pathways is next
Reported byMongabay ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
India's Bengal tiger population has rebounded significantly and tiger relocation programs are underway—five tigers including T8 were translocated from Corbett to Rajaji Tiger Reserve in May 2025. India has built more wildlife mitigation structures than any other country in Asia, including the world's 10 largest wildlife underpasses and overpasses, enabling safe passage for tigers and other species across highways.
Road infrastructure is expanding simultaneously, and poaching remains on the rise; habitat protection faces ongoing pressure.
