National Tiger Conservation Authority / Project Tiger
National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA)
The National Tiger Conservation Authority is a statutory body under the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change constituted under enabling provisions of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, as amended in 2006, for strengthening tiger conservation.
'Project Tiger' is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme of the Environment, Forests and Climate Change, giving subsidizing backing to tiger range States, for in-situ preservation of tigers in assigned tiger reserves, and has put the jeopardized tiger on a guaranteed way of recuperation by sparing it from annihilation, as uncovered by the ongoing discoveries of the All India tiger estimation utilizing the refined strategy.
The Indian Government launched an android app named M-STrIPES (Monitoring system for Tigers – Intensive Protection and Ecological Status), a software-based monitoring system at different tiger reserves across the country on 14 April 2010.
Every 4 year the National Tiger Conservation Authority conducts a tiger census across India to figure out the Royal Bengal Tiger population in India.
