About Save Tigers Now

Save Tigers Now is a global campaign by WWF, supported by Leonardo DiCaprio, that runs during the Chinese Year of the Tiger, 2010. Our goal is to build political and public support to double the number of wild tigers by 2022, the next Year of the Tiger.

Why Save Tigers Now

• In the past 100 years wild tiger numbers have declined 97%. There may be as few as 3,200 wild tigers left in existence, the lowest number ever recorded.
• Illegal killing is the primary cause of the tiger's decline, driven by black market demand for tiger skins, bones and organs.
• The wild tiger once roamed throughout much of Asia. Today, this magnificent cat remains in just 7% of its original habitat.


Tiger Conservation: Why It Will Work

• If tigers and their habitats continue to decline at the current rate, a world without wild tigers could be a tragic reality in just a few short decades.
• Tigers are an “umbrella species,” and protecting their habitat benefits hundreds, even thousands, of other species in the process, including people.
• Stopping the poaching of tigers can help save other vulnerable species, strengthen local communities, improve law enforcement and solidify regional cooperation.

How You Can Help

Spread the word! Tell your friends about the Save Tigers Now campaign.

Donate in support of WWF's tiger conservation efforts. Funds are urgently needed and will go directly to:

• support antipoaching efforts on the ground; tigers are under siege from poachers and we need to increase patrols to protect them
• strengthen projects to save tiger habitat; keeping areas tigers live intact, with enough prey for tigers to eat and enough room for them to roam
• build political will so that governments commit to bold, game-changing strategies that give wild tigers a future

Together, we can preserve an icon of nature and save wild tigers for future generations.
