Tiger Population in Nepal Doubles in 2 Years
Some good news was celebrated Sunday on Global Tiger Day by the 13 countries where the big cats still live. In Nepal's Bardia National Park, the wild tiger population doubled, from 18 to 37, in the two years before 2011. Camera traps in the park showed the marked increase, according to the conservation group World Wildlife Fund. The increase is credited to the Nepalese government which has vowed to protect the endangered cats and crack down on illegal poaching.
