India is the country with the largest wild tiger population in the world. According to the most recent national survey, India is home to roughly three-quarters of all wild tigers left globally (with an estimated 3,682 wild tigers in 2022).
Tigers living in India occupy national parks and protected areas connected by forests that support prey species like sambar deer.
Strong anti‑poaching efforts, habitat connectivity, and long‑term conservation programs such as those centered around Jim Corbett National Park have produced promising signs, including stable breeding populations with female tigers raising cubs.
