“The latest published census report about the status of tigers in the Bangladesh Sundarbans, which is considered to be only remaining habitat for tigers in the country, shows that Bangladesh is home to at least 125 adult tigers.

According to the IUCN Red List, the Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is an endangered species globally. Data from the Global Tiger Forum shows that, as of 2023, there were 5,574 wild tigers living in 13 tiger range countries.

The survey in Bangladesh, conducted through camera trap evaluation in two different timeframes — Jan. 2 to Apr. 25, 2023, and Nov. 1 to Mar. 28, 2024 — indicates that the big cat population increased by 17.92% from the 2015 survey and 9.65% from the 2018 one.”
