Project Tiger:
Started in the year 1973-74, Project Tiger was the first ever successful attempt by the Indian Government to preserve the most popular animal of India ie 'Tiger'. In this project a total of nine wildlife sanctuaries were transformed into into tiger reserves that provided them protection from hunting. In the year 1993, the number of these sanctuaries were increased to 27. As a result of these reserves there was a steady increase in the tiger population.

Every year more and more environmentalists, naturalists, wildlife conservationists associated themselves with this society. scientific research, national capacity building, policy interventions, site-based conservation and developing new models of wildlife conservation are the main agendas of WCS.
