Tigers once roamed from Turkey to China and as far north as Russia and south to Indonesia. Today, they inhabit 6% of their ancient grounds and are on the brink of extinction. These beautiful cats are integral to ecosystems around the world and are an important cultural pillar for groups all over the world.

Today as few as 3,800 tigers remain in the wild, seeing a devastating 96% decrease in just 100 years. 

The illegal trade in tigers and tiger parts, made worse by captive breeding facilities across Asia alongside threats from habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict, has pushed this iconic species to the brink of extinction.

Since 1950, the world’s population has tripled, and agricultural and settlement expansion is rising at an unsustainable rate.

This rapid expansion has drastically reduced tiger habitats and, according to the IUCN’s Red List, habitat loss is now the main threat to 85% of all species.

Around half the world’s original forests have now disappeared and without a sufficient plan in place to minimise the loss of tiger habitats, it is more than likely that we will see the loss of this iconic species within our lifetime.

Tigers are poached for two main reasons: their threat or perceived threat to wildlife and/or people and monetary gain. Historically tigers were poached for furs. While there is still some sold illegally, increased public awareness campaigns and international trade controls have reduced this demand.
