Guide 1

What Tiger Adoption from the UK Actually Means

Symbolic tiger adoption is a donation directed to tiger appeal — not ownership of an individual tiger. WARN pools adoption income into anti-poaching and conflict-response partner grants.

Guide 2

How to Adopt from £5/Month

Visit adopt a tiger, choose monthly or one-off, pay in GBP, receive confirmation. Request a gift certificate by emailing WARN.

Guide 3

Why Adoption Is Not Individual Animal Ownership

Wild tigers are not pets. Your adoption supports patrols, snare removal and conflict response across the in-network range.

Guide 4

Sumatran and Malayan Tigers In-Network

Indonesia and Malaysia hold the in-network tiger populations WARN funds. See Indonesia and tiger appeal.

Guide 5

Adoption Versus Direct Appeal Donation

Both fund the same programme. Adoption provides a species certificate.

Guide 6

Habitat Loss and Palm Oil Context

Forest clearance isolates tiger populations. Habitat grants through habitats appeal complement tiger-specific anti-poaching work.

Guide 7

Gift Tiger Adoption for UK Occasions

Checkout at adopt a tiger, email WARN for a certificate. Honest framing: programme support, not tiger ownership.

Guide 8

Gift Aid Transparency

WARN is a registered UK Community Interest Company (Company no. 17298990) and is not a charity, so it cannot claim Gift Aid. The donation case is transparent partner-led welfare where support reaches practical field needs. Compare sponsor a tiger for sponsorship terminology.

Wildlife guide

Tiger

A tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species, a striped, solitary carnivore native to Asia; the Sumatran tiger of Indonesia and the Malayan tiger of Malaysia are two of the most endangered surviving populations, both listed as Critically Endangered.

Country programme

Indonesia

Indonesia is a Southeast Asian archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, home to Bornean and Sumatran orangutans, Sumatran tigers, Javan and Sumatran rhinos, the Komodo dragon and the sun bear; its wildlife is under sustained pressure from palm-oil and pulpwood deforestation, the illegal pet trade, and one of the world's largest contributions to marine plastic.

Country programme

Malaysia

Malaysia is a Southeast Asian range state for Bornean orangutans (Sabah), sun bears, Sunda pangolins, clouded leopards and the Malayan tiger; it is a top-tier transit country for trafficked wildlife, with Kuala Lumpur's airports and the Port Klang container hub repeatedly identified by UNODC as wildlife-crime chokepoints.
