Campaigns

EAZA Tiger Campaign

From 2003 - 2004 we ran the EAZA Tiger campaign. We pledged £40,000 to assist conservation projects in the Russian Far East for the Amur or Siberian Tiger. Three of the eight sub-species of tiger are already extinct and a maximum of 500 wild Amur Tigers remain, possibly less. Donations went directly towards 2 projects for Amur Tigers to help protect them. In the Primorsky region of the Russian Far East funding will strengthen protection activities in areas of tiger habitat and educate and engage local communities to actively participate in conservation. Also in the Russian Far East funds will go towards: Radio collaring of tigers to define predation rates; A tiger response team to intervene in situations where tiger-human conflicts could occur; Anaesthetics for translocations and Helicopter hire for aerial tracking of tigers.
