- The world’s first successful scientific reintroduction of tigers into a landscape of local extinction took place at the Sariska Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan, India.
- After poachers completely wiped out its tiger population by 2005, the reserve underwent a historic, science-based translocation program.
- Sariska has witnessed remarkable recovery from a situation of local extinction in 2005 to supporting 56 tigers today.
- Highlighting the country's achievements in tiger conservation, the Government said the number of tiger reserves has increased from 46 to 58 over the past decade.
- The Government also noted that India has successfully achieved the St. Petersburg Declaration target of doubling its wild tiger population by 2022.
- Project Cheetah is the world's first inter-continental large carnivore reintroduction.
