What concerns exist regarding the tiger population in Ranthambore?

There are concerns about reduced genetic fitness in the tiger population due to inbreeding among Ranthambore’s tigers, as the population descends from only a few individuals and remains largely isolated from other tiger populations in India. Animal safaris and other human activities in the park, as well as direct conflict with humans, also threaten tigers and other fauna of the park.
