Monitoring Program

The monitoring program will collect and stream to the biodiversity dashboard, real-time values on the number of tiger trafficker arrests, the number of tiger trafficker convictions, the number of intercepted shipments of tiger parts, and estimates of tiger abundance in India.

Data on the number of arrested tiger traffickers can be acquired here along with the number of convicted tiger traffickers.

Data on the number of intercepted shipments of tiger parts can be acquired here.

Bengal tiger abundance in India can be estimated by first acquiring the most recent data on tiger sightings here, and then running a SAS code that computes an estimate of abundance based on a capture-recapture model. This code is here.
