it’s easy to double when numbers are under 5,000. Many ecologists are not as rosy as the indian government about this... 95% of their range is gone at this point and there’s not a lot of genetic diversity; a single disease can wipe out of the population. We’d need nearly 100,000 tigers to have the diversity to avoid this, and we’re not on track for that by a long shot. https://news.stanford.edu/news/2014/april/tigers-genetic-diversity-041814.html https://news.stanford.edu/news/2014/april/tigers-genetic-div...
