Recovering Wild Tigers

RECOVERING WILD TIGERS TIGERS ALIVE INITIATIVE RUSSIA WWF LEONARDO DICAPRIO FOUNDATION PAST PRESENT FUTURE CHINA Amur - Heilong At the turn of the 19th century over 100,000 wild tigers roamed across a large part of Asia in many ecosystems. Now approximately 3,200 wild tigers remain scattered across a severely reduced range, making their future uncertain. With the DiCaprio Foundation, WWF is recovering populations in 12 landscapes - key to creating a future for tigers. CLINA Greater Manas Terai Arc NEPAL Kaziranga - Karbi nglong INDIA BANGLADESH/ HOW TO GET THERE MYANMAR VIETNAM WWF's 12 landscapes have been carefully selected for targeted conservation work because they are the places in the world with the greatest opportunity for recovering wild tigers. They cover the multitude of ecosystems tigers utilize across all 13 tiger range countries. Sites within landscapes are categorized according to their current and potential ability to conserve tigers.

For many sites, recovery is about progression towards becoming a Core Tiger Area. Increases in site management, protection work and biological montoring stimulate progression and encourage tiger recovery.

These sites have potential to rapidly double their tiger numbers, given improvements in site management and protection work. These are critical connections which enable wild tigers to migrate freely, which in turn ensures long-term population vitality.
