Tiger Adoption Kit
The largest of the big cats, tigers are truly impressive sights with their black, brown or gray-striped reddish-orange fur, white bellies, and black and white tails. Tigers have long been a target of poachers for this unique fur, as well as other body parts, and human communities are increasingly expanding and encroaching upon tiger habitat.
Our Eco Pal plush animals are doing their part to reduce the amount of plastic litter on our lands and in our oceans. Stitched eyes and noses, no plastic whiskers, no plastic pellets, and fiberfill made from 100% recycled plastic. Select the Eco Pal adoption level below to see the adorable plush.
Tigers have long been a target of poachers for their unique fur. In addition, their body parts, which are used in traditional Asian medicines, are highly valued on the black market. Tigers are also seen as threats to human communities and may be illegally killed for coming into close proximity to people. This is especially concerning as human communities continue to expand and encroach into tiger habitat.
In addition to the loss of habitat due to human population growth and development, tigers are also suffering habitat loss from the effects of climate change. As sea levels rise eroding coastal areas like India’s Sundarban Islands, and as sea water moves up river, tigers must move northward to find sources of freshwater. This puts them at greater risk of conflicts with human populations.
Your adoption supports our work to ensure that tigers remain protected under the Endangered Species Act, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), and other international laws and treaties, and our efforts to educate the public about the threats that these amazing animals face.
