Tigers against the odds: Applying macro-ecology to species recovery in India

K. U. Karanth,N. Samba Kumar,Krithi K. Karanth

Published 2020 in Biological Conservation

ABSTRACT

Abstract Tigers are in serious decline from anthropogenic pressures: prey depletion by human hunting, killing of tigers for conflict mitigation or trade in their body parts, and habitat loss or degradation. In spite of conservation efforts over 50 years, wild tigers now occupy
