Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli says Nepal has 'too many tigers' Attacks by tigers claimed nearly 40 lives and injured 15 people between 2019 and 2023 .

Oli has suggested Nepal could send its prized big cats to other countries as gifts.

Experts argue that Oli 's concern with capping tiger numbers is misplaced.

There are only about 5,600 wild tigers remaining across 13 countries.

It's unclear whether Oli 's "tiger diplomacy" suggestion will gain traction, or whether over-encroaching humans or tigers are to blame for Nepal 's tiger attack crisis. What is clear is that humans and tigers are struggling to achieve peaceful co-existence in Nepal - and the country's conservation success story has brought many of its own thorny problems to reckon with..
