The report states that global wild tiger populations are trending upward after a century of decline, increasing from an estimated 3,200 in 2010 to 4,500 in July 2022. Population growth is specifically noted in India, China, Russia, Bhutan, and Nepal, with Nepal nearly tripling its population from 121 to 355 tigers. Conservation efforts include the establishment of 15,000 square kilometers of new reserves in India and 14,500 square kilometers of habitat in China. Additionally, the report highlights the 2022 passage of the Big Cat Public Safety Act in the US to regulate approximately 5,000 captive tigers and prevent illegal trade. The document links tiger habitat conservation to broader climate benefits, noting that 25,000 acres of forests are protected for each adult tiger, securing carbon storage.

• Global wild tiger populations have increased from an estimated 3,200 in 2010 to 4,500 in July 2022, reversing a long-term decline.
• Tiger populations are rising in five specific countries: India, China, Russia, Bhutan, and Nepal. Nepal's population grew from 121 in 2010 to an estimated 355 by July 2022, an increase of 190%.
• The US passed the Big Cat Public Safety Act in December 2022 to provide oversight for approximately 5,000 captive tigers to prevent them from entering the illegal trade of tiger parts and products.
