Save Tigers Now - Help WWF and Leo DiCaprio save tigers in the wild

In February 2010, at the advent of the Chinese Year of the Tiger, WWF reported that tigers were in crisis around the world. With as few as 3,200 left of this endangered species compared to 100,000 a century ago, it was clear that this would be the vital tipping point for tigers.

In the past twelve months, WWF used its global network to help combat poaching, protect and connect key tiger landscapes, and build political will to save wild tiger populations.
