Tiger facts & future
We have lost 97% of our wild tigers in just over a century. With as few as 3,200 remaining, action is needed to increase and strengthen their habitat and protect the species from major threats such as poaching.

WWF works with the 13 tiger countries to create a future for wild tigers.








Saving the tigers: Mila's story
Mila is a young Indonesian woman who learnt about the plight of the tigers at an early age and dreamt about doing something about it. After graduating, she joined WWF as a tiger conservationist. Mila heads a Tiger Research Team who work in central Sumatra, Indonesia, setting up camera traps which photograph or film tigers. This material is used to help calculate the number of tigers and their movement patterns, gathering data that aids in conservation management.
