Project Tiger was launched by the Government of India in
1973 with the aim of conserving the rapidly declining population of tigers in the country. The initiative was one of the first wildlife conservation projects in India and was started under the leadership of then Prime Minister
Indira Gandhi. Initially, the project covered 9 tiger reserves across different states, and over the years, it has expanded to cover more than 50 reserves. The project has played a crucial role in bringing attention to the conservation of tigers and their habitats, significantly improving the tiger population in India.
