What we found was that in most tiger conservation landscapes … it was pretty intact. That is because the protection is pretty good, the people on the ground are protecting the core tiger reserves.

In Nepal and India, conservation is going pretty strong and a lot of the community are involved, what this shows is that if there is a will and good protection is going on, we can still meet the goal of doubling wild tigers by 2022.

We need more conservation efforts there and we must influence policy makers, where loss has taken place to palm oil or other causes, it’s devastating … It’s not all a rosy picture.
