Project Tiger, which originally began in 1973, attempts to limit the habitat destruction and poaching of the endangered species through concentrated conservation measures inside reserves.

These latest additions will take the country's total number of tiger reserves to over 40 and will attempt to halt the decline of the species, whose numbers now total just 1,400 according to an estimate from the Wildlife Institute of India, reports International Animal Rescue.

Specifically, these sanctuaries have been named as Udanti, Sita Nadi, Anamalai-Parambikulam, Satkosia, Kaziranga, Achanakmar, Sanjay and Mudummalai.

A statement from the Indian Environment ministry said: "An allocation of Rupees 32 crores has been estimated for tiger conservation in the new tiger reserves during the five-year plan period."
