The biodiversity of Madhya Pradesh has rich and diverse fauna and flora. Madhya Pradesh is located on the genetic highway that connects two biodiversity hotspots in India, i.e., the Western Ghats and the North-East regions of India. The Biodiversity of Madhya Pradesh has great biological diversity. The Biodiversity of Madhya Pradesh includes the diversity of ecosystems, including plateaus, ravines, ridges, valleys, and flat plains. Madhya Pradesh has become the Tiger State of the Country with 526 Tigers. The paper presents the results of the Tiger counting survey of Madhya Pradesh. This review aims to understand the protection measures, counting of tigers with respect to the protection of the forest and our ecosystem, with the objective is to strengthening patrolling and surveillance of the endangered tiger.
