In April last year, India made news for being home to nearly 2,226 wild tigers -- 70 per cent of the global population -- making it a shining example in wildlife conservation. But, hidden within these glorious numbers is a morbid tale of death that could throw cold water on the government's tall claims. As per data compiled by the Wildlife Protection Society of India (WPSI) -- a non-profit working towards animal conservation -- the country lost one tiger every week and a leopard daily, between January 2008 and July 2017.
