India's Tiger Population Rises, But So Do Deaths

India has a lot of tigers, almost 70% of the world's population.

This is great news because it means tigers are doing well.

But there's a problem: more tigers are dying too.

In 2026, 111 tigers have died so far, and Madhya Pradesh, known as the 'Tiger State,' has seen 45 of those deaths.

Experts say this is because there are more tigers, but also because of poaching, fights over territory, and accidents.

Some deaths are natural, but many could be prevented with better protection.

The government is working on this by making stricter rules and involving local communities.

They also say that conservation is about more than just numbers; it's about understanding our relationship with nature.
