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.

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 program

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 program

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.
