Why Save Tigers Now

This apex predator has a vital role in maintaining the natural balance of tigerlands that hold some of the richest biodiversity in the world, from the mangroves of India to the edge of the Siberian Taiga down to the island of Sumatra.

Tigers are an “umbrella species,” and protecting their habitat benefits hundreds, even thousands, of other species in the process, including people.

Stopping the poaching of tigers can help save other vulnerable species, strengthen local communities, improve law enforcement and solidify regional cooperation.
