An Optimistic Tiger Census? - Belinda Wright

India is home to 70 percent of the world's tiger population. At 2,226 the country's tiger population is 30 percent larger than recent estimates thought. Tiger conservationist Belinda Wright says that the increase in tigers doesn't necessarily represent an actual numbers increase, it's simply the result of a more accurate census. India's tigers compete for space with the country's 1.25 billion people, but Wright says that the cat's future will only be secured when China's demand for tiger parts ends.
