Tiger
Solutions
Beyond borders
WWF’s approach to tiger conservation has evolved in the past four decades of our work. We’ve found that the only way to ensure a future for tigers is to seek solutions in collaboration with governments, local communities and other partners.

Today, we invest in strategies ranging from income generation and alternative livelihoods for people living with tigers, to lobbying on the highest level to secure wild spaces and end tiger trade. Our work includes:
- monitoring populations to improve tiger management and conservation
- stopping tiger trade
- strengthening anti-poaching efforts
- addressing human-tiger conflict
- securing tiger lands
- supporting local conservationists
- focusing on the bigger picture such as policies and sustainable forestry
WWF’s Tiger Initiative is dedicated to developing and applying our expertise on game changing places and policies to recover wild tiger populations over the next decade. WWF has field projects in 11 tiger range countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Russia, working closely with TRAFFIC and partners to address trade and poaching issues.
As a global conservation network, WWF has been a leader in the International Tiger Coalition, a group of more than 40 international NGOs working together to end tiger trade.
WWF is also a major partner in the World Bank-led Global Tiger Initiative, a coalition working on leveraging the highest level of political commitment to secure a future for wild tigers.
