India launches Project Tiger, a major conservation initiative to protect wild tiger populations.
On April 1, 1973, Project Tiger was officially launched in Jim Corbett National Park, India. This ambitious program aimed to curb the drastic decline of Bengal tiger numbers. It introduced dedicated tiger reserves, stricter poaching laws, and habitat management. Local communities were engaged in conservation efforts and sustainable land use. Project Tiger became a global model for endangered species protection. Decades later, the initiative continues to play a vital role in safeguarding wild tigers.
