This footage captures a wild Siberian tiger in Changbaishan Biosphere Reserve, in the southeastern part of Jilin Province, China, on 3 December 2024. The discovery is proof that wild Siberian...
Abstract: Inbreeding increases genome homozygosity within populations, which can exacerbate inbreeding depression by exposing homozygous deleterious alleles that are responsible for declines in fitness traits. In small populations, genetic purging...
In early August 2024, Indonesia introduced transformative changes to its conservation laws, signalling a bold step forward in the battle against illegal wildlife trade (IWT). The new Law No. 32/2024...
Abstract: Following the local extermination of tigers from India's two premier reserves, village relocation as a policy to create more inviolate space for tiger breeding was conceived by the Indian...
Abstract: Conservation of threatened species is dependent on consistent population monitoring. We present the first status assessment of critically endangered Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae) and their prey in the...
Imagine walking through a field at dusk and spotting a flash of orange and black among the trees—a Sumatran tiger. This has become a more familiar reality for residents near...
As Halloween approaches and we embrace the season of spooks and scares, it's worth turning our thoughts to some of the most haunting losses our planet has faced—the tiger subspecies...
As Halloween draws near, thoughts often turn to ghosts and skeletons, yet some of the most haunting losses are the tiger subspecies that once roamed our planet, now tragically extinct....
Abstract: Human fatalities and injury from wildlife attacks often result in a negative attitude toward conservation. This research was undertaken to investigate the patterns and conflict-causing factors of human killing...
Abstract: Examining the distribution patterns of sympatric large carnivores provides critical insights into the roles of prey availability and human disturbances in shaping the landscape use of these key predators....
Abstract: Human wildlife gap has shrunk due to urbanization and agricultural expansion. Domestic animals and wild mammals are pushed closer together, enabling disease transmission between the two groups. Recent discovery...
Abstract: The identification and implementation of conflict reduction measures are necessary to reduce predator attacks on people and livestock and to minimize human encroachment into predator habitats. We identified potential...
Human-tiger conflict in Russia’s Far East has persisted since the 19th century, with modern issues driven by habitat loss and urbanisation. Amur tigers are now frequently sighted near roads, attacking...
Abstract: A range of interventions have been established to manage international wildlife trade and protect traded species; however, there is little consensus as to whether, when, and how they are...
In Northeast China’s Tiger and Leopard National Park (NCTLNP), snares pose a significant danger to Amur tigers and leopards, with an estimated 54 tigers and 34 leopards at risk from...
When most people think of tiger habitats, dense forests and jungles often come to mind. While forests are undoubtedly crucial for tiger survival, grasslands play a significant role in supporting...
Could this be the first successful reintroduction of tigers anywhere in the world? Tigers, once roaming vast territories across Asia, are now confined to only a fraction of their historic...
An umbrella species like the tiger plays a pivotal role in protecting entire ecosystems, as its conservation indirectly safeguards numerous other species within the same habitat. A recent study highlights...
Abstract: After hunting, predators tend to leave a large amount of carrion behind. It is widely reported that this resource is commonly used by various species in the ecosystem and...
The latest wild tiger population estimate in Thailand, released by the Royal Thai Government, is between 179 and 223 individuals as of 2024. This is approximately a 21% increase from...
All WildCats Conservation Alliance projects are subject to rigorous scrutiny to ensure they are having maximum conservation impact. We have produced a document that illustrates how our projects succeeded in...
Abstract: Tigers and other large predatory carnivores have suffered population extirpations and range contractions. This is particularly true for tiger populations in southeastern Asia, which harbours one-third of their remaining...
World Ranger Day is celebrated globally on July 31st to honour and celebrate the invaluable work rangers do to protect our planet's natural treasures and cultural heritage. These dedicated individuals...
