There have been countless reports on how the population of tigers across the world have been declining.

However, a photo has recently emerged online, giving us hope that the situation is not so teruk after all.

The beautiful shot, captured in India, shows a mother tiger walking along a sun-drenched forest path with her five cubs in tow.

This is magical picture. Count the #cubs with #tigress. I know for a reason how few people will be elated after seeing this. Efforts are helping in making this species bounce back from verge of extinction. PC Siddharth Singh. Magical Terai. pic.twitter.com/ZIaMlUAxBj

Miraculously, in India, the number of tigers have been slowly increasing.

BBC reported that the population of 2,226 in 2014 had risen by nearly a third to 2,967 in 2019.

The country is now estimated to contain about 70 per cent of the world’s tigers, thanks to its improved conservation measures, including a strict ban on hunting implemented in 1972.

Maybe Malaysia can emulate this?
