Stories about climate change are flagged off the front page because they are supposedly irrelevant but somehow this story remains. What gives? How is the tiger population more relevant than climate change, an existential threat to humanity and all living species?
Plenty of stories about climate change still get attention on the front page. There's usually at least one every day. But they're the ones that contain new information.
Stories get flagged off the front page when they're repetitive, and stories get front page traction when they contain interesting/useful new information.
The recovering tiger population is interesting new information.
It isn't about tiger population vs climate change.
The tiger population is important because they are at the peak of the food chain, and their conservation is important to ensure the well-being of the forest ecosystem.
