Majestic, Powerful, and on the Brink
Despite being one of natures most recognizable creatures and one of the world's most beloved big cats, tigers (Panthera tigris) are on the brink of extinction.
Just over a century ago, over 100,000 tigers roamed the wilds of Asia. Today, approximately 5,600 wild tigers live on a fraction of their historic range.
Tigers Deserve a Better Future
Tigers deserve environments prioritizing their well-being and natural behaviors. Striking a balance between legitimate conservation efforts and ensuring the humane treatment of captive tigers is crucial to safeguarding these iconic animals and maintaining the integrity of our commitment to their survival.
More than 5,000 Tigers live in captivity in the United States, according to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. That's more than any other country outside of China and more than all of the wild Tigers worldwide.
Tiger conservation is critical to safeguarding a single species and preserving entire ecosystems, maintaining cultural heritage, promoting biodiversity, and ensuring a sustainable future for wildlife and humans.
