Tigers are the largest felines on earth. They are extremely elusive predators and they live mostly solitary lives. Their needs can only be met when living in the wild in their natural environment.

ADOPT A TIGER, SUPPORT OUR WORK
Since the beginning of the 20th century, approximately 95% of tigers have vanished! WWF, in collaboration with other organizations and governments, has been working intensively on a plan to double their numbers. Since 2010, when there were only about 3,900 of them in the wild, we have been implementing the Tx2 project and are delighted to announce successful results. Today, there are 5,574 tigers roaming freely around the world! Such success in nature conservation is very rare. Over the past twelve years, the tiger population has increased in Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, and Russia thanks to effective strategies and great dedication. However, much more work is needed to achieve the conservation of the species.
Although the number of tigers is increasing, it is important to note that their populations cannot fully recover if the number and extent of their habitats continue to shrink. Therefore, we ensure that their habitats are connected and of broader scope, allowing tigers to move freely while also ensuring coexistence between tigers and local communities. We are also finding financial resources for tiger conservation and the livelihoods of communities living alongside tigers.
Yes, you can help! When you adopt an animal, you significantly contribute to our work in conserving species and the importance of coexisting with both people and the wild, maintaining a precious balance.
Did you know?
Tigers are at the top of the food chain. They keep the numbers of smaller animals under control, which ensures that everyone has enough food, water, and space. Protecting one tiger means saving an entire ecosystem. In the forest, tigers are lone rangers. But in their early days, until two years of age, they are very much dependent on their mother. Tigers usually give birth to two to three cubs at a time. Tigers are striped to perfection: tiger stripes are as unique as human fingerprints.
Learn more about the tiger
Tigers can be found in isolated forests and grasslands throughout Asia. Their habitat is wide-ranging – from evergreen and monsoon forests to mixed coniferous-deciduous woodlands, and mangrove swamps.
There are now estimated to be around 5,574 wild tigers. Poaching is one of the biggest threats to tigers, along with habitat loss, human conflict and loss of prey.
