A Bengal tiger (pictured) was caught in a camera trap on January 13, 2009, in Nepal's Terai Arc Landscape, a network of protected patches of wilderness that borders India.

India, once the Bengal tiger's stronghold, is now home to fewer than 1,300 of the animals.

"The transboundary relation with India needs to be strengthened further and all organizations should work together to conserve tigers," Gopal Prasad Upadhyay, director general of Nepal's Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation, said in a statement.
