Stories like Life of Pi are inspired by nature and its magnificent wild species. Through the power of theater and immersive storytelling, they make us believe the unbelievable and capture a tiger’s astonishing presence. But in actuality, the reality tigers face in the wild can be far from magical. Wild tigers face threats of poaching, the illegal trade of and demand for tiger parts and products, and rampant habitat loss.
But, after a century of decline, wild tiger numbers are now on the rise in many places. At least 4,500 tigers remain in the wild, but more work is needed to protect this species that’s still endangered with extinction.
Tigers face threats of poaching, the illegal trade of and demand for wild tiger parts and products, and rampant habitat loss.
Together, we can change the story for wild tigers. WWF is working to preserve and connect tiger habitats; monitor tigers and conserve their prey; tackle illegal trade in and reduce demand for tiger parts and products; work with communities to manage human-wildlife conflict; and support governments to stop tiger poaching.
Join WWF and our partner, Life of Pi on Broadway, in raising support for wild tiger conservation and creating a happy ending for wild tigers.
