The number of jungle cats within territorial boundary of Nepal had risen to 350 from 121 in 2010, almost tripling the count . The number of Bengal Tigers, specially in the western terai plains of Bardiya and Banke, has been on the rise since 2009 after Government of Nepal initiated the protection campaign.
