Protecting the Bengal tiger in the Sundarbans, Bangladesh: conservation measures reconsidered.

The research demonstrates that doubling the number of tigers as Bangladesh pledged at the 2010 'Tiger Summit' is impossible without restoring the Sundarbans' intact habitat and ecological balance. The research identifies the barriers to tiger conservation in Bangladesh's Sundarbans. Last, a number of conservation strategies are put forward, including adopting a cross-border conservation plan and preserving the habitat in its natural state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
