States” in order to support in-situ tiger conservation in the selected tiger
reserves. The National Tiger Conservation Authority oversees Project Tiger
(NTCA). |

Conservation Authority (NTCA) and the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), with
assistance from several state forest agencies and conservation NGOs, have
been leading the government of India’s four-year-old Tiger Census from 2006. |
