The tiger census placed the tiger population at 40,000. This was an informal census. The first formal census was conducted in the year 1972. Horrifyingly, only 1800 tigers were left in the country. This statistic triggered a panic wave across the country. The government was pressurized to retain natural tiger habitats that were being encroached in the name of urbanization.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In 1969, the IUCN General Meeting was held in New Delhi to address the receding population of tigers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In 1970, there was a nationwide ban on the hunting of tigers. \u2022 In 1972, the government formulated the Wildlife Protection Act.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The first Task Force is set up to maintain tiger reserves.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> From 1973, the government started setting up tiger reserves.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The government segregates land into urban development land and tiger conservation land.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> By 1974, 9 tiger reserves were provisioned.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tiger_reserves_are_managed_technologically_in_India\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tiger reserves are managed technologically in India<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tiger reserves are managed by professional staff. All activities are conducted through wireless communication. Wireless transmitters are fitted onto certain tigers that are suspected to be carrying, diseased, or for research purposes.

The Voluntary Village Relocation scheme is the government\u2019s assistance to villagers living in these areas to find better places for inhabitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Village Relocation scheme has been effective in tiger reserves at Kanha, Bandipur, and Ranthambore.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Villages in and around these areas have been relocated to safer regions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Villagers have been provided lands for cultivating agriculture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Livestock has been managed well and kept away from tiger inhabitation areas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Compensatory developmental works have improved the economic situation of these areas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tiger habitats have been kept intact and undisturbed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There has been an improvement in the level of ground water in these areas.
