“Madhya Pradesh has lost 290 tigers so far since 2002. As the number of tigers has risen, they are fighting for territorial control. We are losing 25 to 30 striped animals every year. Of them (the deceased tiger), 95 per cent were weak and old. While the remaining five per cent of (290) tigers were killed by poachers or in man-animal conflicts,” Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) Alok Kumar told .
