Dear Friend of WWF,
As few as 3,200 tigers remain in the wild.
For more than a million years, this "King of the Jungle" reigned over a vast territory stretching from Turkey to Russia. Today, sadly, their habitat is disappearing--tigers occupy just seven percent of their historic range.
Moreover, three sub-species of tigers--Bali, Javan and Caspian--have gone extinct in the past 70 years; a fourth one, the South China tiger, has not been seen in the wild in a quarter of a century. Today's generations will never know the magnificence of these big cats.
Tragically, today's remaining six sub-species risk the same fate. Due to illegal wildlife trade, poaching, and human conflict, these beautiful cats could only be a memory if we do not take action to save them.
If we do not respond to the plight of wild tigers--and the needs of the people who share their home with tigers--we will witness the loss of one of the world's most irreplaceable natural wonders of our lifetime.
 Tiger population has decreased by about 95 percent since 1900 and its range has decreased by 93 percent. |
That's why we're asking for your support. Your gift of just $16 a month could mean the difference between survival and extinction--not just for tigers--but also for endangered wildlife like pandas, rhinos, sea turtles and countless other species and their habitats around the world.
