In brief

You can adopt a tiger symbolically with WARN from £5 a month (about 16p a day) or with a one-off gift. Your donation supports WARN’s wild tiger appeal, and you receive a personalised digital certificate that can name a gift recipient. It is symbolic: no individual animal is assigned to you.

Guide 1

What Tiger Sponsorship Through WARN Means

Symbolic tiger adoption is a donation towards the related appeal purpose with an adoption-themed acknowledgement. It gives you a way to express support without owning, naming or visiting a live tiger. The suggested amounts are contribution choices rather than prices for food, a patrol or a rescue.

An attractive tiger photograph can help people connect with the species, but it does not establish that the pictured animal has been rescued or funded by WARN. Published records should identify actual recipient decisions, payments and reported outcomes separately.

Visit adopt a tiger, choose monthly or one-off from £5/month, pay in GBP, receive email receipt.

Guide 3

What Your Tiger Sponsorship Pays For

Sponsorship income funds patrol support, snare removal from corridors, conflict response when tigers approach farms, and emergency veterinary response for snared tigers.

Guide 4

Sumatran and Malayan Tiger Programmes

Fewer than 150 Malayan tigers may survive in Peninsular Malaysia; roughly 400 Sumatran tigers remain in Indonesia. See tiger appeal and Indonesia.

Guide 5

Snares and Poaching Pressure

Wire snares set for bushmeat kill tigers indiscriminately. Patrol teams find and remove snares — sponsorship helps sustain year-round patrol capacity.

Guide 6

Monthly Versus One-Off Tiger Sponsorship

Monthly from £5 at adopt a tiger gives partners predictable patrol budgets. One-off gifts at tiger appeal suit urgent veterinary response.

Wildlife guide

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.
