The number of tigers in the wild has gone up dramatically since 2015 — largely because of improvements in monitoring them, but the species remains endangered.
A Bengal tiger rests in the jungles of Bannerghatta National Park south of Bangalore, India, on July 29, 2015. The number of tigers in the wild has gone up 40% since 2015 — largely because of improvements in monitoring them, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
The WCS is a nonprofit that has worked in roughly 60 countries across the world to save wildlife and wild places. Tigers are considered highly valuable within the illegal wildlife trade, which has become a massive, global industry, according to Hunter.
