before working with conservation projects hi Mom  we're in India recently we were in tadoba national  

park with our good friend and Wildlife expert Dr Matrishya Vyas on the search for Bengal tigers so  

fingers crossed we're able to see a tiger and it  wasn't long before Matrishya's tiger knowledge paid  

off there's an incredible tiger in this body of  water in front of us and Matrishya here knows him very  

well don't you and it wasn't  just rudra we saw we were lucky enough to count  

12 tigers on our trip and since returning home to  the One Zoo Three Zoo we have heard encouraging news that  

their numbers could be on the rise so it's been  a while since we last caught up with Matrishya so  

we're going to give him a quick call yeah let's do  it hey how you doing Matrishya hello hello  

hello I hear that there's been some great news  recently about tiger numbers in India yeah yeah  

it is it is fantastic from Wildlife point of view  tiger numbers have grow more than 3,000 Tigers now  

3,000 Tigers which is almost double the number  from the last count completed 15 years ago and  

here are some of Matrishya's very own awesome tiger  photos with tiger stripes all being different  

a bit like our fingerprints researchers could  check to make sure each animal was only counted  

the once while this amazing species remains  endangered it shows that conservation efforts  

and reconnecting tiger habitats are working  which is reason to celebrate we absolutely  

love the cultures and traditions in India have  you got any particular festivals that you love  

we love holi holi is fun Diwali on the other  hand is more religious lots of Lights involved in  

Diwali yeah lots of Lights Festival of light a  great see thank you thank you Namaste thank you
