Preserving Nature

It was a proud moment for Nepal when the news surfaced that it has nearly tripled its tiger population in 2022. Now there are 355 tigers in Nepal, a fact that speaks for itself. It was in 2010 when Nepal committed to doubling its tiger population within a decade and now it has reached its goal quite successfully. Nature is certainly bewildering. It has species that aren’t just mesmerising and unique to look at but also work in tandem to balance the ecology which has become quite precarious as of late. Among animals, species are classified into two groups: vertebrates (those animals with backbones) and invertebrates (those animals without backbones). Among the vertebrates there are five well-known classes such as mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians.

It was not only a success but more than a success as the country almost tripled the tiger’s population from 121 in the last 12 years, conservationists said.
