With most of these protected areas disconnected from each other, many species depend on human-dominated spaces for their survival, and shared landscapes.
A new report by WWF and UNEP has found that 35 per cent of India’s tiger ranges currently lie outside protected areas.

With most of these protected areas disconnected from each other, many species depend on human-dominated spaces for their survival, and shared landscapes. Protected areas play an increasingly important role for the survival of key species such as large predators and herbivores, says the report.
