Report: India’s Sundarbans beats Bangladesh in tiger density count

According to the previous tiger census, the population of tigers in the Sundarbans stood at 106 in 2015 - a sharp drop from 440 in 2004 Syed Zakir Hossain/Dhaka Tribune

The scientists have found that the Indian Sundarbans has four tigers per 100sq km, which is almost twice that of the Sundarbans of Bangladesh side

The Sundarbans of Bangladesh may have more tigers compared to the Indian side owing to its larger area, but the neighbouring country came out on top in terms of tiger density.

A report published by the Times of India on Monday made the disclosure, quoting Indian scientists who compiled findings at the mangrove forests belonging to Bangladesh and India.

The scientists have found that the Indian Sundarbans has four tigers per 100sq km, which is almost twice that of the Sundarbans of Bangladesh side.

Stating that the Bangladesh Sundarbans has a larger area and a bigger tiger-occupied habitat, senior scientist of Wildlife Institute of India, YV Jhala pointed out that the tiger density there is only 2.17 tigers per 100sq km.


According to a recent report on Indo-Bangla tiger estimates, the tiger-occupied area of the Bangladeshi side is also larger- at around 4,832sq km, compared to India’s 1,841sq km.


Jhala also added that the reason behind the lower tiger density in Bangladesh is poaching.

The report, titled “Status of Tigers in the Sundarbans Landscape of Bangladesh and India” also revealed that the encounter rate of human sign and sighting was higher in Bangladesh Sundarbans, which is further exacerbated by the usage of river channels for transportation of commercial vehicles.

Jhala speculated that the tiger population in the Bangladeshi Sundarbans is much below the actual carrying capacity, while the Indian side has reached carrying capacity

The tiger density count exercise was conducted in the last few years.

The scientists recorded the highest tiger density in the Sajnekhali range of the Indian Sundarbans, while the lowest was recorded in Bangladesh’s Khulna range.

Both Bangladesh and India are currently conducting a camera-trap exercise in 2018 to get a more reliable estimate.

The exercise at Basirhat and National Park (east) in the Indian Sundarbans has ended, but it is still going on at Khulna and Sarankhola ranges in Bangladesh.

While India has a variety of wildlife from tigers,elephants,yaks to exotic species like red panda,Bangladesh has limited wildlife.No wonder Bangladeshis are so emotional about tigers

We like our tiger steaks well-marinated and well-done....

Good news for my buddies at project Tiger.

How dare Ralf address the Hilsaites in such fashion.

Now India is even luring away our Tigers.:undecided: Shame on India.
Tigers are territorial animals. They can't be lured outside their territory like stealing a dog. If you stop poaching of bucks, other deer, tigers etc... they will not go search for food in other territories.
Stop spinning stupidity here and use your brain if you have it.

Bangladesh is below carrying capacity, so good luck. Though I wonder if that's the actual carrying capacity because of the commercial use of rivers.

Tigers are such majestic animals. We need them in more states.

Contrary to common perception, it's not Bengal that leads in tiger count.
Mudumalai-Bandipur-Nagarhole-Wayanad complex of the Western Ghat in the South has probably the highest count of tigers in the world.

In absolute count, Bangladesh side Sundarban still has more tigers. Around 100 on Bangladeshi side and 72 on Indian side according to these statistics of area and density.

To me it really does not matter whether Bangladesh have more or India... it is our combined duty to provide a secure environment to this majestic beast... nature is not bound to bow to us... neither our borders could limit its glory...

Let the Rampal Power Plant to get established, then the remaining ones too will flee to India. Shame on hasina and bal for failing to protect these majestic creatures.

yeah Indian should top in having tiger population since Indian are providing them good feed...they are sending their elders in to woods so tiger hunt them and they can claim money from Govt.
Elderly relatives ‘are being sent into tiger reserves to be KILLED so families can claim compensation in horrifying new trend in India’
  • Younger family members are targeting the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve in Uttar Pradesh
  • Older relatives are being sent there to be mauled to death by tigers roaming free
  • Their bodies are then moved to nearby fields so families can claim compensation
  • The most recent death linked to the craze is that of a 55-year-old woman on July 1
  • Government officials are now looking into seven deaths since February
