Celebrate Global Tiger Day 2021 to keep conserving nature high on all our agendas.
Wild tigers have a crucial place in Asian landscapes and biodiversity as they can be an indicator of the state of habitats and when we protect them, tigers also protect the balanced ecosystem across its range. As much of the world is still in crisis from the coronavirus pandemic, we must do all we can to protect the natural environment.
Evidence is showing that given the correct environment, tiger populations can increase. With the use of science and technology, best practice, involvement of local people and investment, conservation actions are having a positive impact.
Please do the right thing and donate to WildCats Conservation Alliance.
- With the right protection, wild tiger populations recover
- With the right habitat, wild tigers and prey thrive
- With the right help, wildlife and people can live together in the same landscape
We have yet to fully understand the long term impacts that coronavirus is having on endangered wildlife across the world, and for tigers specifically. In some regions, tigers have benefited from a lack of human activity but in many areas, rural poverty and a lack of tourism has driven villagers into the forests for food, fuel, or livelihoods. Protected areas have been hit by budget cuts and staff by welfare issues. *
