Richard Branson sets his eye on India’s tiger survival

NEW DELHI (Reuters) – Virgin Group founder and billionaire Richard Branson plans to harness entrepreneurs and celebrities to help save India’s tigers from extinction with only around 1700 left in the wild.

While tiger numbers have risen slightly in recent years, India has fought mostly a losing battle to conserve tigers against poaching and habitat loss. Tiger numbers have plummeted 97 percent from 100,000 at the turn of the last century.
