WWF rallied efforts to end tiger poaching, curb demand for tiger parts, protect and connect tiger habitat, build political will and marshal support to save critically endangered wild tiger populations.

But much more remains to be done. To lend a hand, take a look at 10 Ways to Save Tigers. The official Year of the Tiger may have passed, but until the tiger’s future is secure, every year should be dedicated to safeguarding their welfare.

Thanks for caring about conservation,
