September - Save The Tiger Month

If we want to save wild tigers, we will have to improve and expand on-the-ground conservation efforts that directly reduce threats to tigers and increase tiger and prey populations and improve their habitat. However, without controls on the demand for tiger parts, inordinate pressures are being placed on wild tigers. Even tiger reserves are not safe. That is sadly illustrated by the case of Sariska Tiger Reserve in India where, in 2005, poachers completely wiped out wild tigers. Thus, our tiger conservation strategy must both improve and strengthen on-the-ground conservation and reduce the trafficking of tiger parts. The Save the Tiger Fund is tackling the approach using a two-pronged strategy: the first is to strengthen landscape-level conservation and the second is to stop the illegal trade in tiger parts.
