Tiger Conservation Landscapes (TCL)
The most comprehensive
scientific study of tiger habitats ever done finds that the big cats
reside in 40 percent less habitat than they were thought to a decade
ago. The tigers now occupy only 7 percent of their historic range.
This landmark study, Setting Priorities for Conservation and Recovery
of Wild Tigers: 2005-2015, commissioned by the Save The Tiger Fund and
produced by some of the world’s leading tiger scientists at World
Wildlife Fund, Wildlife Conservation Society, the Smithsonian’s
National Zoological Park and Save The Tiger Fund, calls for specific
international actions to safeguard remaining populations.
