India has worked to protect its tigers from poachers, reduce human-wildlife conflict, and increase the living standards of people living near tiger habitats. Around 60 million people live in such habitats, of which 70 are killed in attacks every year. But a new study in the journal Science suggests that humans can coexist with tigers, and it is their attitudes towards the animals that matters.
