Guide 1

Sumatran and Malayan Tigers In-Network

Fewer than 150 Malayan tigers may survive in Peninsular Malaysia; roughly 400 Sumatran tigers remain in Indonesia. Both subspecies are IUCN Endangered, threatened by poaching, snares, deforestation and human–wildlife conflict. WARN funds partner grants in both countries.

Guide 2

What Tiger Conservation Donations Fund

Anti-poaching patrol support, snare removal, conflict response when tigers approach farms, and habitat corridor protection linking forest fragments. WARN does not run tiger facilities — partners deliver field work.

Guide 3

How to Donate to Tiger Conservation

Give at tiger appeal one-off or monthly, or symbolically adopt at adopt a tiger from £5/month. UK donors pay in GBP with full receipts. Unrestricted gifts at donate also support tiger work when allocated to greatest need.

Guide 4

Snares and Poaching Pressure

Wire snares set for bushmeat kill tigers indiscriminately. Patrol teams find and remove snares from corridors; emergency veterinary response treats injured tigers where partners have capacity.

Guide 5

Habitat Loss and Palm Oil

Lowland forest clearance in Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia isolates tiger populations in fragments too small for long-term survival. Habitat grants through habitats appeal complement tiger-specific anti-poaching work.

Guide 6

UK Donor 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. Tiger conservation giving funds transparent partner-led delivery — not tax relief.

Guide 7

Sumatran and Malayan Tigers In-Network

Fewer than 150 Malayan tigers may remain in Peninsular Malaysia; Sumatran tigers in Indonesia face deforestation and poaching. WARN funds anti-poaching and conflict response through tiger appeal in both range states.

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.

Country programme

India

India is a South Asian country that holds roughly 70% of the world's wild tigers, the largest population of Asian elephants, and the great majority of greater one-horned rhinos, alongside leopards, sloth bears and pangolins; its wildlife faces intense human-wildlife conflict, habitat fragmentation and trafficking of skins, bone and scales.
