Protecting endangered tigers in your Will
Our ultimate goal is to prevent the extinction of wild tigers. With India home to more than two thirds of the global wild tiger population; it is vital that we eliminate wild tiger deaths due to poaching and retaliatory poisoning to ensure that wild tigers are around for future generations.

Leaving a gift in your Will can make a huge difference to endangered tigers
Providing Anti-Poaching Patrols to keep wild tigers safe from poachers’ snares and traps.
97% of the global wild tiger population has been lost in just over 100 years. Poachers have jeopardised wild tiger survival for years with snares consisting of anchored wires with sliding nooses camouflaged these along tiger trails. The world’s wild tigers and their forest habitats are under threat. Protected Tiger Reserves are surrounded by buffer zones, where the burgeoning human population lives amongst the wildlife.
Working with the communities who live with wild tigers.
Over the last 6 years Bandhavgarh has suffered from an acute water crisis due to erratic rainfall causing longer drought seasons which impact all. Existing wildlife waterholes previously replenished by rainwater have become dry or almost dry. Thirsty prey animals enter villages to drink and, whilst there, raid crops. Predators follow in search of prey and kill livestock when their native prey flees.
Educating future generations so they know the value of an apex predator
Education is key to ensuring wild tigers have wild futures. Since 2010 we’ve provided over 3400 education packs for children in more than 32 villages around Bandhavgarh to enable them to go to school. Rural poverty together with the cost of basic writing material can prevent many children from attending school.
