If we talk about the tiger population in the world is around 4000 -4500 while alone in India the tiger population is 3167 almost 75% which is the global tiger population.” “We will translocate the tiger to the place where its density is less. This is our new strategy and we need a lot of preparations for this,” he added. “Cambodia wants the Tiger to be reintroduced there and India’s successfully reintroduced tigers Sariska, and Panna, so they want cooperation from India and the Memorandum of Understanding with the Cambodian Government has been signed. we are ready to provide technical support and all kinds of support to Cambodia to rebuild Tiger’s population there. India is closely working with the government of Cambodia for translocating a few tigers where tigers have become extinct,” SP Yadav added.
