Sariska Tiger Reserve is a forest area in the Aravalli Hills, located in Rajasthan, India. Long ago, it had many Bengal tigers living in it. These tigers were an important part of the forest. Sariska got tiger reserve status in 1955. In 1972, India created the Wildlife Protection Act to protect wild animals, including tigers.

Even after protection measures were established, something terrible happened. By 2005, Sariska had zero tigers. All of them were gone. This was a huge shock to India. Questions began to arise, the most important being: can tigers be returned to a landscape where there are none?
