237 tigers die in 2 years

-The Telegraph

New Delhi: As many as 237 tigers died in the past two years and 23 per cent of the deaths between 2012 and 2017 were caused by poaching, the government said on Friday.

However, the government asserted that unnatural deaths "have not had an impact on tiger numbers, which are growing at the rate of 5.8 per cent per annum".

"In 2016, 122 tigers died across the country while 115 died in 2017," minister of state for environment Mahesh Sharma told the Lok Sabha.

He said during 2012-17, 55 per cent of tiger deaths were due to natural causes while 7 per cent were because of unnatural causes not attributable to poaching.
