The tiger is the largest cat on Earth, a solitary predator that ranges from the snowbound forests of the Russian Far East to the mangroves of the Sundarbans. The subspecies that survive today are each shaped by their habitat. A Siberian tiger can weigh over 600 pounds; a Sumatran tiger, the smallest, rarely passes 300.
Wild tigers have lost roughly 95% of their historic range, and the IUCN Red List classifies the species as Endangered. The threats are specific: poaching for skins and bones, the clearing of forest for agriculture, and the loss of the deer and wild pig they hunt. Fewer than 5,000 remain in the wild, though coordinated protection in India and Nepal has begun to reverse the decline inside some reserves.
No projects have listed this species yet. If you run a project that protects the Tiger, you can add it to Wildlife Connect.
