Population data of tigers in the world?

As of 2022, there are estimated to be around 3,900 tigers left in the wild worldwide, down from around 100,000 a century ago. The population has been severely reduced due to habitat loss, hunting, and poaching. Here is a breakdown of tiger populations in different regions:

Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris): Found mostly in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Myanmar. The population is estimated to be around 2,500 individuals.

South China tigers (Panthera tigris amoyensis): Found in southern China. The population is estimated to be fewer than 10 individuals and the subspecies is considered critically endangered.

Caspian tigers (Panthera tigris virgata): Formerly found in central Asia, including Iran and Turkey. The subspecies is considered extinct since the 1970s.
