Tigers play a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Unfortunately, tigers are threatened by poaching, human–wildlife conflict, habitat loss, and more. In response to these threats, the conservation community pledged double worldwide wild tiger population 2022 (known as TX2) at “Tiger Summit” St. Petersburg 2010, track progress of Tiger Range Countries.
