Who We Are
Established in 1995 as a partnership between the ExxonMobil Foundation and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation,
STF gave 313 grants totaling $15.7 million between 1995 and 2007,
amounting to about one quarter of all philanthropic funds spent on tiger
conservation globally. ExxonMobil's contribution to this effort is the
largest single corporate commitment to saving a species.
Funding has focused on the following activities:
- Scientific research of tiger ecology and monitoring of tiger numbers
to improve our understanding of tigers' needs.
- Education and outreach activities to build public support for tiger
conservation. Anti-poaching patrols to enforce wildlife protection
laws.
- Leadership training to emerging M.S. and Ph.D.-level conservation
leaders. Trafficking-reduction activities to combat the global demand
for and supply of tiger parts.
- Habitat restoration and acquisition.
- Sustainable development projects that improve livelihoods of people
living in tiger landscapes.
- Zoo breeding programs to secure genetically viable populations of
tiger subspecies in the world's zoos.
- Human-tiger conflict reduction.
Funding has been allocated to 13 different tiger range countries
