India is a wonderful place for the wild cat species in terms of their varety but they are gradually being pushed out of their habitats by human population growth and activity. The demise of the Bengal tiger is the paradigm case of conservation failure despite Project Tiger.
I have a map on my website which sets out which wild cat species lives in which country. Therefore you can find out which wild cat species lives in any of the countries on the planet. You can get to that page by clicking on the following link: Wild Cats of the World Map.
