How does WWF-India contribute to Tiger Conservation?
To protect the tiger and to ensure its survival in the wild, WWF-India supports tiger conservation initiatives undertaken by the Government of India. The activities undertaken include strengthening protection measures in National Parks, Sanctuaries and Tiger Reserves, helping local communities to reduce their dependence on forest resources, mitigating human-wildlife conflict, providing a scientific database that will serve as a basis for sound management of tiger habitats, and capacity building for conservation of the species. TRAFFIC-India, a collaboration of WWF and IUCN, has restarted operations to curb illegal trade in wildlife that is drastically affecting the wildlife populations in India.
