Tiger census and The Habitat

Bringing smile to the face of conservationists, India's 2011 Tiger census shows a major rise in the big cat’s numbers at 1,706 against 1,411 in 2006 - an increase of 295 tigers. The latest census includes about 70 of them in the marshes of the Sunderbans, which have never been scientifically surveyed before.
