WWF's work on tiger conservation goes beyond site-based protection to tackle threats coming from within and outside of tiger landscapes. This is to ensure any gains made towards our goal of doubling wild tiger numbers by 2022 is for the long-term.
From strengthening frontline defense and management of tiger habitats, conducting community awareness programs and promoting sustainable livelihoods to dealing with the illegal wildlife trade and sustaining political will, our main pillars of work focuses on targeting the problem at the roots.
We take a holistic view to protecting wild tigers. Instead of focusing only on specific tiger habitats, we define 14 vast and connected landscapes - some of them cutting across countries. Put together, these landscapes provide us with a global canvas for a blueprint towards global tiger recovery.
In each of these landscapes, WWF has selected priority sites based on the potential for tiger populations to thrive, breed and recover. Our on-ground efforts are present in more than 200 of these sites.
WWF is committed to the global TX2 goal of doubling wild tiger numbers by 2022. This was a target backed by all 13 countries with wild tiger populations at the 2010 Tiger Summit in St Petersburg, Russia.
In 2016, and at the halfway point of the TX2 goal, we have witnessed the impact of joint efforts over the past 6 years. The global estimate of tiger numbers was revised upwards. According to the most recent data, around 3,900 tigers now exist in the wild—up from an estimated 3,200 in 2010.
This is a huge achievement but the threats to wild tigers are more acute than ever. Our work involves driving political momentum to ensure tiger conservation remains a top priority for world leaders, improving the management of areas where tigers live, supporting anti-poaching actions, tackling the illegal wildlife trade through our partnership with TRAFFIC, and managing human-wildlife conflict
6,000+ wild tigers is the global goal set at the Tiger Summit and the goal WWF is dedicated to.
