Tigers: Endangered
The Tiger, Panthera Tigris, is an iconic big cat species currently facing a precarious status as endangered. Due to factors such as habitat loss, poaching, and illegal wildlife trade, Tiger populations have been significantly depleted over the years.
Conservation efforts to protect these elusive creatures and their ecosystems involve anti-poaching initiatives, habitat preservation, and international agreements to curb the illegal trade in Tigers and Tiger parts. While there has been some success, the future of Tigers remains uncertain, and continued conservation efforts are essential to ensure their survival.
The Votes Are In...
To highlight the plight of these two Tigers and countless others suffering similar fates, we launched a campaign in June 2023 to rewrite their story, starting with giving them a name. Thanks to our amazing supporters, we are excited to announce that these two tigers have been given new names: Ginger and Lemongrass.
But our work doesn't stop here. We need to raise $20,000 to support their care and well-being. Food alone costs $300 a month for each Tiger. Join us now in a meaningful act of renewal by supporting our campaign. Your contribution will help shape their new identities and futures, ensuring they receive the care they deserve.
These two Tigers embody a profound and troubling truth: More Tigers now languish in captivity than roam free in the wild. In the United States alone, it is estimated that more than 5,000 Tigers are held in captivity. Across the sprawling Tiger farms of China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, the number is believed to exceed 8,000. Tragically, these majestic creatures are frequently exploited for entertainment, confined in deplorable conditions, and trafficked for their valuable body parts.
Please consider donating today and become a vital part of their journey to a better life. We need 200 generous supporters to contribute $100 today, which will enable us to provide a $20,000 grant to WFFT. This funding is crucial to ensuring Ginger and Lemongrass receive the care and support they deserve.

Meet Ginger and Lemongrass
Tigers, majestic and powerful creatures, 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.
