Why adoption is so important

Tigers are on the brink of extinction. Global populations have plummeted alarmingly by 96%, for all six-remaining subspecies. Three are now extinct. A combination of poaching, illegal captivity, and habitat destruction have contributed to their dwindling numbers, and it shows no signs of slowing down. 

The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation fights for tigers on every battlefield, from the frontline to the world stage. Our commitment to protecting this iconic big cat from the threats driving it towards extinction is absolute. Our mission is to save this adored species – and we can’t do it without you.

Animal adoption is a fun and impactful way you can make a difference. Adopt a tiger for just £3 a month, and you’ll be supporting us as we carry out vital work to save this icon of our wild world.

How Tiger Adoption Helps 

Adopting a tiger helps fund projects working with local communities to monitor tiger movements, reduce poaching, and raise awareness on the dangers of tiger extinction. In addition, your support can help us:  

  • Fight for a total ban on the sale of all tiger parts as well as the closure of captive tiger breeding facilities. 
  • Protect key tiger habitats across Russia, India, and Thailand by supporting wildlife rangers. 
  • Engage local communities living with tigers through innovative activities and educational programmes.
