By a rule of thumb, the total number of cases detected are only 10% of the total number of crimes. So it should sum up to about 1.6 tigers per day rather than one tiger per week.

And in some cases due to poaching there may not be any breeding tiger population left behind.

Our ministers and forest department want to pat themselves on their back, however, we are forgetting that in many forests the tigers are inbreeding, as the contiguity with other forests is lost. They can airlift a tiger or two in the same state, but they can't do it everywhere. We have to look at creating sustainable solutions and focus on recreating the corridors between our wilderness areas.
