"Bhutan has reported a marked increase in its wild tiger population, according to the results of a new survey.

The latest figures show the tiny Himalayan kingdom is now home to 131 tigers - up 27% from the last count, held in 2015.

Experts also found evidence of Tigers breeding at different altitudes in the country, suggesting Bhutan could help regional populations recover.

The study covered 32,800 sq km (12,664 sq miles) - roughly 85% of the country."
