The number of tigers in India more than doubled between 2010 and 2022, according to a new study.

In 2010, there were around 1,700 tigers in the country — but there were almost 3,700 by 2022, the study said.

The study also said that tiger numbers had increased because the animals were better protected from poachers and because their habitats were better protected too.

The researchers added that the amount of contact between humans and animals has been reduced, and the country has made sure that the tigers have enough prey.

The researchers said the results show that, with the right attitude, people can make a difference.

Some people now want the country to spend more time and money on protecting other animals too.

Of all the tigers in the world, 75% are now in India, in an area of about 138,000 square kilometers.

But many of these animals live close to large numbers of people.

The researchers said some communities have benefited from the increased tiger population because it has meant tourists have visited the area to see the animals.

However, tiger attacks on humans do happen, and with India's human population growing, this problem won't go away.

But the researchers said the number of tiger attacks per year is quite small, and many more people are killed by leopards, wild pigs and snakes, and in car accidents.

However, while many have said that the increase in tigers is good news, others are not sure about the accuracy of the data, which was collected by government-supported agencies.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。今天想和大家聊一聊【家庭教育】的话题。
在中国，传统的家庭教育模式是：父母是权威，孩子要听父母的。很多父母甚至会把自己的人生梦想或人生意愿强加给自己的孩子。在做重大人生决定的时候，父母会说：“我是过来人，你应该听我的，不然以后你会后悔的。”不过也有越来越多的家长开始用新的方式教育孩子，例如和孩子做朋友，培养孩子的独立性，尊重孩子的意愿。很多育儿的书籍和课程也应运而生，家长也开始有意识地通过学习提升自己。
李一诺是一土教育的创始人，关于家庭教育，她有什么看法呢？
我觉得家庭教育一个最大的误区就是认为我们是可以设计孩子的人生的，孩子的人生是可以被设计出来的。这听上去可能还挺合理的，特别是当我们家长好像很成功的时候，是吧？觉得孩子其实可以复制我的路径。但真相是啊，如果孩子真的复制了你的人生，那才是最大的失败。这种设计其实是带着一种傲慢的，因为设计的主体是我们，是家长，不是儿童。那不是说我们就不做事情，我们做什么呢？我们做支持和引导。支持和引导，那主体就是儿童，我们是一个辅助的作用。那这有个很重要的前提，就是一种相信。相信孩子可以有足够的能力智慧去面对他自己的生活，而且相信他自己的生活走出来的道路会比我们设计的所谓的道路要精彩。他就算是不精彩，他至少真实。当他是真实的时候，他早晚会精彩。听上去有点绕啊，但是我想大家都听得懂。所以我想我们要放下的一个执念就是去设计孩子的人生，而是反过来支持和引导孩子的成长。
如果你有孩子，你会用什么样的方式教育孩子呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
