International Tiger Project

It's time for our favourite game: spot the tiger!

While you might be able to spot this Sumatran tiger in this trail camera photo, spotting one in the wild is much harder.

Why?

Because there's LESS THAN 300 left in the wild. They are Critically Endangered, emphasis on the critical. To save them, we must protect every single one from danger, and keep their forest homes thriving.

Who's with us? Drop a 🐯 in the comments if you can see the tiger, and a 🧡 if you're ready to fight for their survival.

Join Dr. Alexander Mossbrucker, Manager of International Tiger Project, on Cool Science Radio as he discusses how new technologies are providing new ways to understand and protect Critically Endangered species:

Technology is changing the fight to protect endangered wildlife Dr. Alexander Mossbrucker discusses how bioacoustics, artificial intelligence and digital monitoring tools are helping conservationists track endangered wildlife. From detecting Asian elephants by their vocalizations to training rangers in Sumatra, Mossbrucker explores how better data can strengthen...

🔥 These maps show the devastating scale of wildfires burning right now across Indonesia.

The worst-hit regions are Sumatra and Borneo, home to Critically Endangered orangutans, elephants and tigers already on the brink of extinction. These fires threaten their forests, their food sources, and their health, with prolonged exposure to toxic smoke.

Extreme drought, deforestation, and drained peatlands are fuelling the blazes. Scientists are calling it a "Godzilla El Niño", one of the driest seasons Indonesia has experienced in years.

Borneo's peatlands make these fires especially hard to fight. Once drained, peat becomes highly flammable and can smoulder underground for months, producing choking haze long after the flames are gone. And it's far from over – the fire season is expected to peak in October.

Orangutans, elephants and tigers can't escape these flames on their own. Our teams are on the ground right now, fighting to protect them and their forest homes 🧡🐘🐯🦧

Come along on forest patrol with the Tiger Patrol team in Koto Rajo, West Sumatra! 🥾 🐅

Their mission: protect Sumatran tigers and the forests they call home.

On a recent patrol, the team updated an old trail camera, documented signs of incredible wildlife like sun bears, and destroyed deadly wire snares.

We'd love for you to see how your support makes a difference for tigers and other wildlife, so please, check out the full patrol story and see your amazing impact here: https://bit.ly/4wUsBdt

This program is a collaboration with our partners at Centre for Orangutan Protection and the Ministry of Forestry 🌳

Did you know tiger paws have super soft pads? 🐾

This cushioning helps them move in near silence. Tigers rely on ambush hunting, getting as close as possible before the final pounce. Nature's stealthiest hunters!

This Sumatran tiger footprint was spotted by our patrol teams in the forests of Sumatra!
