Nepal's leader says it has too many tigers
KATHMANDU — Nepal has been celebrated globally for tripling its tiger population in a decade — but Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli thinks the country may have been too successful."In such a small country, we have more than 350 tigers... We can't have so many tigers and let them eat up humans," he said last month at an event organized to review the country's COP29 outcomes.Attacks by tigers claimed nearly 40 lives and injured 15 people between 2019 and 2023, according to government data.
