Tiger

Panthera Tigris

The tiger is one of the most iconic animals on earth, but the largest of the big cats is on the brink of extinction. As recently as 100 years ago, as many as 100,000 wild tigers roamed across Asia. Today, about 3,900 tigers are left in the wild. This catastrophic population decline is driven by a range of threats, including poaching of tigers and prey for the illegal wildlife trade, overhunting of prey species by local people, and habitat loss and fragmentation.

To save tigers, we need to secure forest and grassland habitats across Asia where they live. By protecting large, biologically diverse landscapes, we allow tigers to roam and preserve the many other threatened species that live there.
