With about 3,200 tigers left in the wild this iconic species teeters at the edge of extinction. Poaching and the illegal wildlife trade are among the gravest threats to the tiger's survival. Conservation organisations such as WWF are working with former poachers and local governments to stop the poaching and save the species.

This was created as part of the action on Global Tiger Day - July 29 2012.

A law should be passed, especially in Asian countries for rangers to have permission to shoot poachers on sight. Raising awareness is also needed.
@Fuck Communist shut up you bitter fool. I live in the heart of north-east India, me and family generations have lived alongside tiger territories. In my old house, we've literally seen cubs late at night wandering in our backyard (mum was definitely around), so if someone's trying to be a part of the solution, don't belittle them. He maybe a westerner, probably an American. And it's okay to drink Starbucks ffs, I do as well. This Earth belongs to all of us.
No never kill all tigers and carvores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My sons donated to WWF. And also one of my sons will partcipate in a speech contests with topic about the wild tigers.Please cheer him up...from Korea...
That's bull. We all know them koreans eat cats.
Good Mr. Kim Sun Heui
i sweare on my life i will help the tigers . like if you wish to help
@Unknown uh excuse me and what exactly have you done?
You can go to WWF's website and donate money
I say if the penalty was death for poaching then that would give them some incentive to stop! Would poaching be worth their lives?
Would you really kill a man for a tiger?.............. yeah me too.
Jimmy Honeycutt If you’re passionate enough about these animals and care so much about them and you do everything possible to prevent them from becoming Extinct and if that means having to kill other men (humans) to protect the Tigers then yeah I would kill another Man! Use the Logic that Tigers are Endangered Humans are Most Certainly Not! Tigers and every other wild animal have every Right to live on this Green Earth as much as we do!
@@cameronturk4388 Especially Asians the two countries that had the largest tiger populations at the beginning of the 20th century (China and India) are now the two most populous nations in the world . Chins has almost no wild tigers and though India still has the most but just a fraction of their former numbers.
There are a lot of times you have to shoot/take down poachers, but then if you can capture a poacher and then convert him/her to the cause of wildlife (like these guys), they can become the greatest protectors of these wild places and animals. They know so intimately about the area as well as the wildlife better than just anyone else, and their local knowledge is vital in protecting places from outside interests. I feel the cause of the tiger will be won or lost by the support (or lack of support) of locals.
Poachers are as pathetic as child molesters. It's always good news the rare times I hear of tigers killing them.
Save the tiger!!
dainco08 Good evening, i am member of WWF, i'm helping ONE VOICE and l'IFAW and 30MILLIONS D'AMIS againts animals cruauty
Maim the poachers and kill those who finance them.
India will never save their precious wildlife so frustrating 😫
Leopards are poached too
Thanks !
It's good to see that the ex hunter have seen the error of their ways but such a shame they realized so late. Maybe if the animals were not so scarce they would still be hunting. It is a vicious circle but I wish them all the luck in the world. Thank you WWF.
Not ex hunter ex poacher there’s a difference
THE SHOCKING CONNECTION BETWEEN YOUR NON-RECYCLED, FOREIGN MADE PAPER AND WOOD PRODUCTS and TIGER EXTINCTION: "You know, it is really difficult to differentiate between illegal logging and wildlife poaching. Because if somebody is coming to cut down trees, they will also kill animals. And they make new tracks (roads) and that makes it easier for the hunters to access the core zones (of the forest) and hunt leopards and bears and tigers." - Rohit Singh, Technical Advisor, Enforcement, WWF Cambodia
There's no excuse to what they do/did to these poor animals. And I just hate it when people say stuff like "they're poor, they need to eat" and other nonsense. If you have a brain, you can think about how bad and wrong this is. There are other ways to earn money and feed your family other than destroying wildlife and animals.
It's easy to criticize on a full stomach :)
ViolentPeace101 Oh, come on... First thing : poachers don't hunt for food. They slaughter animals for their bones/horns/whatever and they leave them to die. Hell, these bastards even kill rangers that are paid to protect animals like this!! I've seen lots of documentaries about different people in different (poor) countries and I've never seen them do things such as poaching. (excuse my english, it's not my mother tongue)
You are both right.
Arrest the poachers and sentence them LIFE in prison
No, they must die.
That's so sad
At 1:51 i remember some comedy sketch similar to this. Even though he is speaking in English there is subtitles
I would help if I could I hope it looks up
Tigers and humans seem to have been at each other’s throats (both literally and figuratively)for a while now
Indeed, but tiger lose to human population growth. We could stop breeding and focus on caring for animals who need our protection. You can be happy and fulfilled without having children, and having children to care for you in your old age contributes to human overpopulation.
US has more captive tigers (mostly as pets) than the rest of the world has in wild. Surprised to see no one is speaking over this outrageous issue :( China should also learn some conservation lessons. This year they legally banned Elephant ivory trade that was 1 good step but a long way to go for China. India is actually working in the right direction as 70% of wild tigers are now in India.
I can’t stand poachers. Murdering innocent creatures for money and greed. Even if they are poor, I still think it’s awful.
1:50 proud to be an indian
India has the most tiger population and india is the most tiger poached country
My friend , y don your people dont protect your majestic wildlife ...
its extremely saddening seeing all these tigers getting poached , glad that some of these hunters regret and now doing something to redeem their wrong in the past. protecting those animals for those that still keep poaching wildl animals may karma fall upon them. not being racist here , but all the blame should be on those mainly chinese merchants as what the hunter say mostly is the merchants offer a price for the animal so there's a market for it. and mainly of the merchants tend to be chinese
Tigers are such majestic animals, so are other animals. When you see these animals you say wow the Earth is beautiful. It's ridiculous how selfish some people are, you can see the joy on some of these peoples face, the ones hunting, very disgusting. They should have some dignity and integrity for the wild. May the tigers live forever. Kill the trade, save the animals, save the world.
Protecting the animals is a good thing, but it's critical to find alternative source of income/employment for these natives. With job opportunities that give them equivalent or higher income stream, hunters will be persuaded to trade in their guns & forgo the hunt.
Money is the root of all evil😧🤑😭😭
True.
Actually, the mind is.
I know these poaching wont look at this comment, but I just want to say that I hate the from the deepest corner of my heart.
This didn’t age well. Tigers are completely extinct in Cambodia.
People need to be educated. Killing these magnificent, endangered animals is wrong. Using their body parts is ignorant and ineffective. Please, let's learn to respect these and all animals.
I'm so sad:-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
I hunt deer and rabbit...but strictly I shoot it I eat it (unless diseased) and I do not use snares! I use humane traps for rabbits and check them 2x a day. I have let go 2 skunks, countless pack rats, and a cat unharmed...just annoyed!
equarg I still completely disagree with what you are doing but I am happy that you respect the animals still and don't hunt for fun and sport
Well ain't you sump'n. I approach skunks with a tarp and then drown them to keep 'em from spraying. The furs are beautiful...... I just shoot cats.
Jimmy Honeycutt just shoot anything other than cats unless they are stray
WWF can you change your LOGO to ORANG UTAN? Why are you promoting PALM TREE industry saying they are sustainable? Have you witnessed the rapid chopping down in MALAYSIA and INDONESIA that I see?
What poachers get to hunt these beautiful animal. Only for money, they can do other works. What wrong have these animal done. They are also a living being. Did they not have right to live. Every person should understand it. And must say together that:- Save Tigers.
If you approach these tigers in the jungle they will surely kill you and devour you. These poachers want to show that they are superior to tigers in the world of 'survival of the fittest.'
must be cruel laws against poachers, to stop the killing of tigers and other animals!!
Stop!!!!!!!!!
I just wish I could do something to stop this.. It's just heartbreaking...

Promoting local economy would also benefit 0 poaching greatly. If the local ppl are wealthy, they will not poach for $. Poor conditions leads to numerous bad behaviors bc frankly they most of the time don’t have a choice but to kill tigers to make a living. Sad but I hope wwf takes all measures possible.
Oh how money destroyed man. Sad something of no life value has become something of importance instead of everything living that surrounds us.
Please stop the poaching!!
Tigers are... R A R E
_Tigurs.._
If people without a guilty conscience, can kill other people (the same species as the killer-it does in animals), it means that they are only in the human form, the same as human people, but they are worse in behavior and attitude towards nature, but any carnivorous animals. How do you affect those who kill the animals for his own gain, as a murderer, are not of such crimes silent material benefits, but their "awareness" below any level of human dignity. I feel sorry for the tigers, but to restrain the idiots in human form, who are responsible as the authorities of the large states cause wars just to make them a bit "nicer" in their idiocy.
I love tigers so much! Why do the kill them poachers are evil if they kill any thing including tigers. :(
go the tigers
Killing tigers actually only when attacking people
Because it is a beautiful thing in the world? Maybe people dont think we should be exterminating entire species? It could have something to do with protecting something that can't protect itself (in the face of guns and whatnot). Some people are more selfless than others, and actions do not always require payment or gratitude for their doing.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ON HERE LOVE TO COMMENT BUT NEVER DONATE TO TRULY HELP. If that describes you then you should be ashamed of yourself. Talk is cheap. pPlease help so we save our tiger. They cant do it alone!!! Please help i beg you! You can send any amount!!! It helps
Arrest these people
Save tiger
