The number of tigers in India more than doubled between 2010 and 2022, according to a new study.

In 2010, there were around 1,700 tigers in the country — but there were almost 3,700 by 2022, the study said.

The study also said that tiger numbers had increased because the animals were better protected from poachers and because their habitats were better protected too.

The researchers added that the amount of contact between humans and animals has been reduced, and the country has made sure that the tigers have enough prey.

The researchers said the results show that, with the right attitude, people can make a difference.

Some people now want the country to spend more time and money on protecting other animals too.

Of all the tigers in the world, 75% are now in India, in an area of about 138,000 square kilometers.

But many of these animals live close to large numbers of people.

The researchers said some communities have benefited from the increased tiger population because it has meant tourists have visited the area to see the animals.

However, tiger attacks on humans do happen, and with India's human population growing, this problem won't go away.

But the researchers said the number of tiger attacks per year is quite small, and many more people are killed by leopards, wild pigs and snakes, and in car accidents.

However, while many have said that the increase in tigers is good news, others are not sure about the accuracy of the data, which was collected by government-supported agencies.

El Bosque de Chapultepec.

Como toda gran ciudad, la capital mexicana cuenta con un pulmón que oxigena a la urbe y sus alrededores. Este querido bosque, no solo concentra espacios verdes para la recreación, lagos, museos y un zoológico, sino que también es sede del único castillo en toda América: El Castillo de Chapultepec. Este último, además de haber acogido en su época al emperador Maximiliano de Habsburgo y a su esposa, la emperatriz Carlota, también funcionó como Colegio Militar y residencia presidencial, antes de convertirse en museo.

Puedes conocerlo de martes a domingo, subiendo por un camino específicamente trazado para llevarte hasta la cima del Cerro del Chapulín. Sus exuberantes jardines te recibirán y de inmediato sentirás haber viajado en el tiempo, pero es parte de la magia del lugar. En su colección permanente, encontrarás pinturas, calzado y prendas con al menos dos siglos de antigüedad, así como muebles que pertenecieron a Carlota y Maximiliano.

Si te gustan las actividades al aire libre, Chapultepec es un espacio donde puedes practicar desde una caminata matutina, hasta entrenamientos para correr un maratón. El interior del bosque también ofrece actividades culturales y de esparcimiento. Dentro de la Casa del Lago “Juan José Arreola”, se desarrollan talleres, proyecciones cinematográficas y hasta conciertos al aire libre. Los fines de semana, podrás deleitarte con jazz en vivo, rock o alguna propuesta progresiva sin pagar un solo peso, toma asiento en el pasto y disfruta.

Saliendo del Bosque de Chapultepec y a unos cuantos metros, encontrarás tres museos imperdibles. El primero es el Museo de Arte Moderno, para el que no tendrás que cambiarte de acera sino avanzar en dirección al sur. Ahí se exponen colecciones que incluyen obras de Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo y José Luis Cuevas entre otros artistas plásticos, así como fotografías de Henri Cartier-Bresson, Tina Modotti y Manuel Álvarez Bravo, solo por citar algunos.
