The number of wild tigers living in India dropped from an estimated 40,000 at the
turn of the century to 2,000 in 1970. Although determined conservation efforts have

now. Still, it is beyond doubt that if the tiger is to survive in the wild at all, its best
chance is in India.
The statements above, if true, support which of the following?
○○ There are now more than 2,000 wild tigers surviving in India.
○○
