New data from Nepal reveals a concerning trend: women face a significantly higher risk of death from tiger attacks. Between 2010 and 2024, tigers killed 141 people across the country. A key finding indicates that almost 70 percent of these attacks occurred within the buffer zones surrounding national parks, areas where human-wildlife conflict is more common. This highlights the vulnerability of communities living near tiger habitats. The data doesn’t specify *why* women are disproportionately affected, but suggests factors like differing roles in gathering resources—such as firewood or fodder—may play a role. Authorities are urged to address the issue and implement strategies to mitigate risks for these communities and promote coexistence. Further investigation is needed to determine the root causes of the gender disparity.
