Your Adoption Really Helps
Animal adoptions like yours give a huge boost to our work. They not only help fund projects to work with local communities to monitor tiger movements, reduce poaching and help people to realise benefits from living in close proximity to wild tigers – but they also support our other vital work around the world.
Tigers can be found in isolated forests and grasslands throughout Asia. Their habitat is wide ranging – from evergreen and monsoon forests, to mixed coniferous-deciduous woodlands, and mangrove swamps. There are estimated to be around 3,900 tigers in the wild.
How We Can Help
We’re determined to help double the number of wild tigers to at least 6,000 by 2022 – the Year of the Tiger. To achieve this, we’re focusing on conservation in 13 priority landscapes, including areas in Nepal, India and Russia. At the groundbreaking international Tiger Summit, which we helped to organise in 2010, governments from all 13 tiger range countries committed to this ambitious and visionary species conservation goal and created a global plan for tiger recovery.
Your adoption and support will help us:
Secure well-managed protected areas;
Restore fragmented areas of habitat (wildlife corridors) so tiger populations can grow;
Strengthen anti-poaching patrols in and around protected areas;
Conduct camera trap surveys to be able to track population trends and guide conservation action;
Fund our other essential work around the world.
Unlike many cats, tigers like water and they are excellent swimmers.
Habitat
The bald eagle occurs during its breeding season in virtually any kind of American wetland habitat such as seacoasts, rivers, large lakes or marshes.
Diet
The bald eagle is an opportunistic carnivore with the capacity to consume a great variety of prey.
Threats
Illegal shooting and lead poisoning.
Interesting Facts
Bald eagles are not actually bald; the name derives from an older meaning of the word, “white headed”.
