Population estimates from periodic nation-wide tiger census undertaken by government agencies show an increasing trend at the national level, and these are used in government reports claiming conservation successes, but methodological inconsistencies between censuses and use of disputed census methods 33 , 34 have rendered these estimates unreliable for scientific evaluations.
