The threats to tigers are of an enormous magnitude and, some of these threats cross national boundaries, such as the illegal trade in tigers and tiger parts. As David Attenborough says, conservation is a perpetual task. And however much the state of the natural world may improve in the years to come, unfortunately the work of the conservationist is unlikely to be complete. Every generation brings with it a new set of threats to the environment , so conservationists have a continuous battle on their hands. By and large we think our activities are relevant and can make a difference.
Conservation is a constant learning process.
We have learnt from both our successes and failures. Since we first became involved in tiger conservation, the threats have vastly increased. In addition, we have identified a series of immediate and long-term actions crucial for saving the tiger. This will guide our future activities. WWF has a track record in taking money from the public and not spending it on tigers.
