Corbett: Tiger’s Own Den 2025

Project Tiger was launched by the Government of India in 1973 to protect the tiger population and save them from poaching. The very first phase of this project was implemented in Jim Corbett National Park, making it one of the most important tiger conservation sites in the country.

The park is divided into seven safari zones to promote tourism and allow visitors to observe wildlife from close range without disturbing their natural habitat. Jim Corbett National Park has the highest tiger population in India, reporting 14 tigers per 100 sq. km in 2019. In total, the park has around 250 tigers. In comparison, other major reserves such as Kaziranga National Park and Nagarhole National Park recorded tiger numbers of 148 and 141, respectively, during the same period.

During our visit to Corbett, we gathered interesting facts about the park’s wildlife and conservation efforts. We also captured photographs that reflected the true essence of Corbett’s forest landscape. Later, we sat together as a team and used the provided templates to create a blog, combining our observations, photographs, and learning.

Apart from tigers, Jim Corbett National Park is home to over 400 species of flora, among which are more than 33 species of bamboo and grasses. The park hosts more than 550 species of fauna. This has been possible due to its dense forest cover, availability of prey animals in good numbers, and consistent conservation practices. It truly remains one of India’s most remarkable wildlife destinations and a strong symbol of successful tiger protection efforts.
