Initially 9- tigers reserves were established in different states during the period 1973-74. Project tiger is implemented to ensure a viable population of tiger in India for scientific, economic, aesthetic, cultural and ecological values and to preserve natural heritage for all time, areas of biological importance as a natural heritage for the benefit, education and enjoyment of the people
