Tiger conservation is sensitive responsibility for the protection of biodiversity. Mortality rate of tigers have been a matter of concern for NTCA and other concerned organisations. According to a report of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), a total of 1386 tigers died across the country in the last 12 years , out of which nearly 50 percent deaths occurred within the tiger reserve area.

Forty two percent tigers died outside the tiger reserve area while there is no clarity on death of rest eight percent tigers.On an average, Uttarakhand has witnessed death of 11 tigers annually over the last 12 years. Despite being home to some of the renowned tiger reserves, the death of big cats in the state has raised serious concerns about the tiger conservation measures and the investments made in this regard.
As per official reports, in the last 12 years, Madhya Pradesh recorded the highest fatalities with 355 tiger deaths, followed by Maharashtra (261) and Karnataka (179). Uttarakhand stood at fourth with 132 deaths.
