Tigers, farmers learning to co-exist in Bhutan Wikimedia Commons/Steve Wilson / 29 Jul 2020 Early one Saturday morning in June, locals in the village of Semji in Bhutan reported the death of one of their cows grazing on the edge of the village. Claw marks on the cow´s neck and large paw prints in the mud pointed to a tiger as the culprit. Semji, like several other villages in central Bhutan’s Trongsa District, has a tiger problem. Since 2016, tigers have killed more than 600 cattle, including 137 this year. “In recent times, and probably as a result of climate change, tigers have been coming closer to villages to use the same waterholes as the locals.”
