Globalisation has become extremely difficult for tigers, leopards, lions, jaguars and all other wild cats that used to be masters of their environment. The tiger is the top consumer of a terrestrial ecosystem. While tiger population decrease day by day in globalisation era. Therefore the great cat is facing danger of becoming extinct in the Tiger-land. This is paper showing what is current situation going on Tiger population, Tiger habitat (2006 to 2010) and last three year (2011, 2012 and 2013) tiger mortality rate due various causes. Meanwhile main emphasis is on tiger landscape complex in all over India. In India there are six tiger landscape complexes. Every tiger landscape complexes have a different characteristic. But main focus on tiger population and Tiger habitat in all tiger landscape complexes. In the all landscape drastically change through anthropogenic activates and natural activate in Tiger population and Tiger hotspots. In this research paper presenting through Arc-GIs, Arc-Info, Erdass Software's and also some statistical tools used for graphical. So in this paper focus on tiger population, is it flourishing or shrinking? And tiger habitat, is it Increasing or decreasing in Indian landscape? But result came out healthy for tiger conservation. So that why we are doing invest million dollar efforts for tiger conservation because of it is main umpire of food web or food chain of our ecosystem. But India and as well as the world If these trends continue, the wild tiger may evolve from being an endangered species and off the endangered species list to become an extinct species.
