Les forêts de l'Inde centrale, où Kipling a situé les aventures de Mowgli (les collines de Seoni), abritent aujourd'hui des parcs nationaux comme Pench et Kanha. En 1973, l'Inde a lancé le Project Tiger pour sauver le tigre, menacé par le braconnage et la déforestation. Les recensements montrent que la population de tigres sauvages a plus que doublé depuis 2006 : l'Inde en compte aujourd'hui plus de 3 000, soit environ les trois quarts des tigres sauvages du monde.
