Worlwide Tiger Population

Tiger Tales
Tigers are the largest of all the Asian big cats, at the top the food chain, and are one of the most culturally important and beautiful animals on this planet. However, they are also among the most vulnerable and threatened species on Earth.
For over a million years the "King of the Jungle" roamed over lands stretching from Turkey to the Russia, northward to Siberia and to the south in Indonesia.
Indonesia was once home to 3 Tiger species; the Sumatran, Balinese and Javan but during the last 70 years the Bali and Javan are now extinct and the Sumatran Tiger critically endangered with possibly less than 300 left in the wild today.
Tragically, the remaining six subspecies are at great risk of extinction because of illegal wildlife trade, poaching, and human conflict.
If we do not respond to the plight of wild tigers and the needs of the communities that share their home with tigers, most of which is outside protected wildlife areas; tragically we will witness the loss of one of the world's most irreplaceable natural wonders of our lifetime.
Sumatran Tiger - Panthera tigris sumatrae
Indonesian rainforest habitat is under threat and it would seem that economical needs are more important than ecological sustainability. Rainforest destruction is getting worse and not only does it affect the degradation of our global environment, but it has resulted in a new problem.
Poverty, natural disaster, drought and floods have become a routine agenda for the Indonesian people. Wildlife too is suffering and as declining forest areas have resulted in habitat loss; with both humans and tigers competing for food and shelter; this has sadly lead to increased conflict between humans and wildlife.
The Sumatran Tiger population in Indonesia has rapidly decreased with as few 300 left in the wild today; not only habitat loss is to blame but also illegal hunting has played a part in the decline of the Sumatran tiger. Tigers have been trapped, injured and even killed by humans and this problem motivated Taman Safari to step in and help in some way.
Rescuing tigers and re-releasing them into safe areas, is Taman Safari's positive contribution towards successful conservationand the survival of this remarkable tiger species.
This is the last chance to save Indonesia's only remaining tiger species from extinction.
