On April 1, 2023, Project Tiger completed fifty glorious years in India.

On this occasion, it is appropriate to remember the contribution of Kailash Sankhala, the first director of Project Tiger. I remember writing a postcard in 1979 after reading a book on tigers written by Padma Shri Kailash Sankhla. At that time, I had completed my schooling and was continuing with journalism along with my studies. I never thought that a person who had been in the Indian Forest Service for ten years even before I was born, who had received the Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowship in 1970, who was the first director of India's Project Tiger in 1973, and whose research during the Nehru Fellowship became the basis of tiger conservation all over the world, including India, would answer a postcard from a village boy.

India's Project Tiger is one of the best examples of wildlife conservation success across the globe. It was a pioneering effort to bring tigers back from the brink of extinction. There were only about 1,800 tigers left in India's forests at that time. The project aimed to create a network of protected areas, known as tiger reserves, to protect the species and ecosystems. In the last five decades, there has been a significant increase in the
