ROAR FOR AMUR
Save wild tigers for future generations
We've teamed up with WildCats Conservation Alliance to help save Amur tigers in the wild by raising awareness of their endangered status and contributing to their conservation projects.
Wild tigers are under threat of extinction due to the loss of their natural habitats, illegal poaching and the decline of the animals they hunt for food. We’re asking for your help and support so that together we can Roar for Amur, keeping these charismatic predators safe for future generations.
Small change can lead to BIG changes. Help us protect the endangered Amur tiger with a donation of as little as £1.
Amur tigers were on the brink of extinction in the 1930s, but conservation efforts pulled their numbers up from less than 30 individuals to somewhere between 480 and 540 in 2020 but this is still far too few and continued threats mean the population is not safe, and sustained conservation efforts are still vital. Knowsley Safari is committed to supporting WildCats Conservation Alliance's work in the wild to save wild Amur tigers for future generations.
Small change can lead to big changes…
SO, WHERE WILL YOUR MONEY BE GOING?
Anti-poaching teams work hard to keep Amur tigers and their prey safe, patrolling protected wild areas using SMART technology to find and stop poachers.
Working with local communities and vets, WCA funds projects to develop better strategies for people and big cats to coexist peacefully.
Using camera traps to identify individual tigers and where they are living, to understand what is happening to them in the wild, their movement patterns and breeding.
Educating younger generations, teaching them about nature, animals and how to protect Amur tigers and other wildlife.
Providing a future for wild Amur tigers is in our hands - together we can protect these beautiful cats and the habitats they safeguard.
