CSE’s Thirteenth Media Fellowship: Backs to the wall: tigers, tiger habitats and conservation in India - Application Deadline Extended
March - May 2012

India hosts the majority of the world’s tiger population -- about 1,700 tigers, according to the May 2011 census. But a combination of threats is holding this meager number to ransom, and poaching and trade in wildlife parts is just one of them. A shrinking habitat, conflicts with humans, growing tourist interference… the tiger has a lot to contend with.
