Abstract
Increasing the global number of tigers Panthera tigris is a key conservation target. Recovery of tiger populations in contiguous, well-protected habitat is a critical step in achieving this goal. Across their range, tigers respond negatively to human presence, largely as a result of depletion of prey numbers, conflict with people and poaching for illegal trade. The demarcation of protected areas with strict protection measures is therefore the cornerstone of tiger conservation.
