The WWF Tiger Programme strives to provide a brighter future for tigers in the wild, in their natural elements. By securing adequate habitat, prey and suitable conditions for tigers to thrive, breed and disperse, we are also contributing towards conserving a myriad of other species.
WWF has more than four decades of experience working on the ground as well as with policy issues in order to address problems and constraints facing important species such as the tiger. We have used biological and social science, policy and economics, and the wisdom of our conservation experience to develop strategic solutions.Tackling immediate threats
We place great importance on conservation intervention - a culmination of field data integrated with management decisions. While monitoring populations and habitat is a crucial part of our programmes, an even more critical component is the action to remove immediate threats to the survival of priority species.
A multi-pronged approach
The global nature and outreach of the WWF network, together with the local knowledge of its field programmes and staff, enables us to work at local, regional, national and global levels effectively. We have the capacity to influence international campaigns and the negotiating skills to alter policies and practices detrimental to biodiversity.
