A new survey released on 29 July 2010 indicates that adult tiger numbers in Chitwan National Park and its border areas in Nepal now stand at 125 tigers. A previous survey conducted in a smaller area of the Park in early 2009 found 91 tigers.

The first ever overall nation-wide estimate of the tiger population brought a positive ray of hope among conservationists. The figures announced by the Nepal Government's Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation (DNPWC) shows the presence of 121 (100 - 194) adult tigers in the wild within the four protected areas of Nepal.
