International Tiger Project

In celebration of , we're honouring the Tiger Patrol Team of West Sumatra. 🧡

This dedicated team of rangers protects the Critically Endangered Sumatran tiger and its forest home. They patrol daily to stop illegal poaching and hunting, and step in before conflict with nearby villages turns deadly.

Every patrol means tigers protected from danger, and one step further from Extinction. 🐅

Today, and every day, we thank them. And you, our amazing supporters, for helping keep them in the field!

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

🐅 It's International Tiger Day and we're celebrating with tiger-rific puns!

Send one to your tiger-loving pals (you know who they are 👀) and let's celebrate these incredible big cats, one purr-fect pun at a time!

Drop your favourite tiger pun below, and don't forget – every share helps spread the word about protecting Critically Endangered tigers in the wild. 🐾

Happy ! To celebrate, we are sharing a story that proves your support really does save Sumatran tigers! Because when one vulnerable tiger was caught in deadly wire snares, your kindness meant that our ranger teams could act quickly to protect other tigers from the same fate.

🌏 Happy , wonderful Wildlife Guardians!

Nature is the backbone of our beautiful world. From the depths of the seas to the tops of mountains, and orangutans swinging through jungle trees – Earth is an extraordinary, fascinating place.

But nature runs on limited resources. Oil, minerals, water – all found in nature, all used by people, every single day. With nearly 8 billion people on Earth today, we're using up these resources faster than ever.

That's why protecting what's left matters so much:
🦧 Orangutans rely on healthy rainforests to survive and thrive
🐘 Elephants depend on intact habitat to move safely, without conflict
🐅 Tigers need vast, connected forests to roam and hunt
🌳 Rainforests are the lungs of our planet, home to countless species
🏘️ Rainforest communities are the frontline guardians, living alongside and protecting rainforests and wildlife everyday

Protecting nature means protecting all of it. The animals, the forests, and the people who call them home.

We're so proud to work hand in hand with you, doing our part for nature. Protecting orangutans, tigers, and elephants, and saving the forest homes they all depend on.

Thank you for standing with us. 🧡

A huge thank you to everyone who donated to our June appeal to help protect tigers like Emba. 🐯 Because of you, rescues like hers are possible.

In this photo you can see rangers, vets, wildlife officers, community members and police. It took every single one of them to save Emba. And it took every single one of you, too.

Your donations are already at work in the field, supporting:
🐾 Rangers to patrol Sumatra's forests
🐾 Snares to be located and destroyed before they claim another life
🐾 Communities to find new ways to live alongside tigers

Emba is still recovering, and we're watching her progress closely. One day soon, we hope to share the moment she walks back into the forest where she belongs.

This isn't the end. It's just the beginning. For Emba, for Sumatra's tigers, and for the rangers who protect them every single day.

Thank you for being part of this team. 💛

Guess what the River Patrol Team spotted while out on patrol in the Way Kambas National Park in Sumatra?

A Sumatran tiger footprint! It's hard to see - but can you spot it?

Drop a 🐾 in the comments if you can see it.

This program is run by Community Foundation for Sumatran Forests, and kindly supported by Elephant Cooperation 🐘

Emba is a Sumatran tiger cub, less than one year old, rescued from a poacher's snare.

Her name comes from the warm glow of burning embers, the same colour as her beautiful coat. And like an ember that refuses to go out, Emba kept fighting.

She survived. But her fight isn't over, and neither is yours.

Thousands of snares still wait hidden across Sumatra's forests. Every day without action is another tiger at risk. Today is the last day to act.

Donate before midnight tonight and help send rangers into the field to find and destroy snares, before another tiger pays the price.

Emba refused to go out. Don't let others burn out alone. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4vDiKrX

This is what a snare wound looks like on a tiger.

Emba was found caught in a wire snare, set by poachers, deep in Sumatra's forests. She was rescued in time. She's healing.

But thousands of snares just like this one are still out there. Right now, another tiger could be one step away from the same fate, or worse.

Every snare removed is a life protected. Please donate before 30 June, and help us get there first. Your gift will help find and destroy the snares before they claim a life.
