Tigers have gone extinct in Singapore, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.
Will the last tiger disappear from Southeast Asia within our lifetime?
What’s next for this endangered species is now in our hands.
From 2000 to 2018, about two tigers were taken from the forests every week to feed the illegal wildlife trade.
These include baby cubs, who were stripped of their homes and family.
Tiger populations finally took a positive turn after a century of decline in some countries but tiger populations in Southeast Asia are still decreasing to dangerously low levels, with less than 250 in Thailand and less than 200 in Malaysia.
Nevertheless, it’s not all doom and gloom.
We know what needs to be done, and with enough resources and support, we will be able to replicate our hard-fought successes in Asia.
While tigers are mighty big cats of the forest, they are extremely vulnerable to threats such as poaching.
Aside from protecting this majestic yet vulnerable species, tiger conservation brings a multitude of benefits for us that are too much to lose.
We are ensuring that the forests they live in retain their significant role in capturing greenhouse gas and buffering against the impacts of natural disasters and climate change.
We are also protecting thousands of other wildlife species that share the same home—including elephants, orangutans, rhinoceros and more!  
We are preserving an invaluable ecosystem for billions of people living in tiger landscapes—from clean air, freshwater, to medicinal plants ⓘ.  
Wild tigers even roamed the streets of Choa Chu Kang in the 1900s!
So, what exactly happened to tigers in Asia, and how can we help?
Poached for illegal wildlife trade, hunted down due to human-wildlife conflict, driven into small fragmented homes with insufficient food… The tigers are fighting against all odds for their survival, and we can help change their fate.
Help us replicate the successes of our tiger conservation efforts to the countries where it’s most needed.
