Tiger Conservation Organizations

Tiger conservation organizations work to protect these endangered big cats by focusing on habitat protection, reducing human-wildlife conflict, and combating illegal activities that threaten their survival.

These groups often collaborate with local communities and governments to preserve and restore critical habitats like forests and grasslands, using methods such as reforestation and creating wildlife corridors to connect fragmented areas.

They are also involved with poaching and the illegal wildlife trade through patrols and advocacy for stronger laws. Some groups also work with communities to minimize conflicts and promote coexistence. Additionally, they conduct research and monitoring using tools like camera traps to track tiger populations and inform conservation strategies, aiming to ensure a future where tigers can thrive in the wild.
