A wild tiger — donation funds anti-poaching and conflict response through WARN partners

Guide 1

Sumatran and Malayan tiger context

Fewer than 150 Malayan tigers may survive in Peninsular Malaysia; roughly 400 Sumatran tigers remain in Indonesia. Both subspecies are IUCN Endangered, threatened by poaching, snares, deforestation and human–wildlife conflict. WARN is developing grant support. Check the relevant appeal and /about/where-your-money-goes/#grant-register for recipient selection, agreements and published payments.

Fewer than 150 Malayan tigers may remain in Peninsular Malaysia; Sumatran tigers in Indonesia face deforestation and poaching. WARN aims to raise support for anti-poaching and conflict response through tiger appeal in both range states.

Guide 2

What Tiger Conservation Donations Fund

Anti-poaching patrol support, snare removal, conflict response when tigers approach farms, and habitat corridor protection linking forest fragments. WARN does not run tiger facilities — partners deliver field work.

Guide 3

How to Donate to Tiger Conservation

Give at tiger appeal one-off or monthly, or symbolically adopt at adopt a tiger from £5/month. UK donors pay in GBP with full receipts. Unrestricted gifts at donate also support tiger work when allocated to greatest need.

Guide 4

Snares and Poaching Pressure

Wire snares set for bushmeat kill tigers indiscriminately. Patrol teams find and remove snares from corridors; emergency veterinary response treats injured tigers where partners have capacity.

Guide 5

Habitat Loss and Palm Oil

Lowland forest clearance in Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia isolates tiger populations in fragments too small for long-term survival. Habitat grants through habitat protection appeal complement tiger-specific anti-poaching work.

Guide 6

UK Donor Transparency

Legal identity: registration status. Tiger conservation giving funds transparent partner-led delivery — not tax relief.

Tiger

A tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat, listed Endangered by the IUCN in 2022. Sumatran and Malayan tigers are Critically Endangered. Fewer than 600 Sumatran tigers and about 80–120 mature Malayan tigers remain. Tigers are not lions. They are solitary forest hunters, not social like African lions.

Country programme

Indonesia

Indonesia’s forests, islands and coasts support remarkable wildlife, including all three orangutan species. Animal welfare and conservation needs differ between Kalimantan, Sumatra and the wider archipelago.

Country programme

Malaysia

Animal welfare in Malaysia spans Peninsular forests, Sabah and Sarawak on Borneo, and marine habitats. Place and species matter when assessing a conservation need or deciding who can help.

Country programme

India

India has diverse wildlife habitats and substantial companion-animal and working-animal welfare needs. Local law, professional expertise and the animal’s circumstances shape an appropriate response.
