Ride the Tiger

Originally published in 1999, Riding The Tiger: tiger conservation in human-dominated landscapes is the seminal work on tiger conservation, tackling the issues in tiger conservation across their range.  It deals with tiger conservation issues in all 14 tiger range countries and has been translated into Russian and Bahasa Indonesian. The topics covered include genetics, ecology, estimating tiger populations using camera-traps, policy recommendations and how to tackle the illegal international problem of trafficking in tiger parts.

Given the significance and importance of this publication in the field of tiger conservation, Save The Tiger Fund and the Zoological Society of London decided to scan the book electronically and make it available for download through its website. Hopefully increasing the accessibility of the information contained in this book will ensure that it reaches an even wider audience and helps people to understand the complexities of tiger ecology and conservation.
