Last chance for Tigers?
Tiger action In the last decade alone, tiger numbers in the wild have fallen
by almost half.
With as few as 3,200 left in the wild, spread thinly over 13 countries, we
have come to the point of no return.
This is it.
This is when we must really, truly and sustainably make the efforts needed
to save the world?s most iconic species.
Critical to these efforts is a meeting during September. This is when the 13
Heads of Government from those countries that still have tigers in their
forests will meet to decide what can be done to give tigers possibly that
last chance of their fabled 9th life.
We need your support in encouraging these Leaders to act decisively. To get
them to commit to doubling the number of wild tigers by the 2022.
Will you, can you help?

Take action
It's not about saving our planet - it's about loving it. And then showing
that love!
After you've helped the tigers, why not spread that love of our blue & green
marble by taking some of our other actions?
- Sustainable seafood: Buy MSC!
Consumer demand for sustainable seafood can act as an extremely powerful
incentive for better fishing. Take the pledge to buy, or ask for, seafood
that comes from sustainable sources!
- Travel Smart
Whether you go to the beaches of the Mediterranean or the pristine landscape
of the Arctic, how you travel will have an impact on some of our planet's
most special places.
