India is rewriting the rules of global conservation. While the world struggles with biodiversity loss, India has achieved the impossible: simultaneous population growth across five distinct species of Big Cats. Here is the story of India’s roaring comeback.

CHEETAHS:
Declared extinct in 1952, the Cheetah returned under Project Cheetah, a historic intercontinental translocation. Starting with 8, brought from Namibia in 2022, successful births on Indian soil have seen a rise to 57 by 2026.

TIGERS:
In 2006, India’s Tiger population hit a record low of 1,411. Through the National Tiger Conservation Authority and strict anti-poaching measures, we turned the tide. By 2022, that number soared to 3,682, meaning India now houses 70% of the global wild tiger population. A 160.95% Growth rate!!

ASIATIC LIONS:
Restricted to the Gir Forests, Asiatic Lions faced a dangerous bottleneck with just 327 individuals in 2000.The population rose to 674 in 2020 and is estimated to reach 891 in 2025!!

LEOPARDS:

Leopard's growth has exploded from 7,910 in 2014 to a massive 13,874 in 2022.

SNOW LEOPARDS: 

In 2024, the first-ever scientific assessment (SPAI) confirmed a population of 718 Snow Leopards. This is a monumental achievement in the Himalayas through "Project Snow Leopard"
