We aspire to a world where, by 2020, wild tigers across Asia will no longer face the risk of extinction — and will live in healthy populations within high conservation value landscapes that are managed sustainably for present and future generations.

Our Vision

Wild Tigers are on the verge of extinction

At the turn of the 20th Century, an estimated 100,000 wild tigers inhabited a range extending across Asia and the Russian Far East. But poaching, habitat loss, and fragmentation have relentlessly pushed tigers into smaller and smaller enclaves – in smaller numbers – to the verge of extinction. Today, there are perhaps 3,500 wild tigers living in their natural habitat. They inhabit 119 million hectares of forests in Tiger Range Countries. Please refer to the Tiger Landscape map on the next page.

The Tiger – a top predator in forest ecosystems – is a natural indicator of the functionality and sustainability of an ecosystem. Given persisting trends of deforestation in East and South Asia and a continuing crisis for wildlife, the prognosis for wild tigers is rather bleak.

The Global Tiger Initiative was launched by President Robert B. Zoellick of the World Bank, the Global Environment Facility, Smithsonian Institution, International Tiger Coalition, and an alliance of governments and international organizations in June 2008. The GTI envisions a reversal in trends for the wild tiger, helping it to recover and repopulate its habitats in sustainable numbers. Today’s challenge is to fulfill the growing development needs of people and to manage natural resources, of which the tiger is one, in a sustainable way. In other words, we need to create a new development paradigm.

Sustained funding (national and international) will be necessary over 10-15 years to enhance management and control systems in use at these tiger habitats to ensure sustainable use of forest resources. These measures could bring tiger population declines to a halt and improve local livelihoods.

Why Care about Tigers?Wild tigers are not only a symbol of all that is splendid, mystical and powerful about nature. They are also a beacon of biodiversity, linking together the forests they inhabit and the natural resources and ecosystem services that their habitats produce for people. Sadly, the next decade may be the last one for the wild tiger. The loss of tigers and degradation of their ecosystems would inevitably result in a historic cultural, spiritual, and environmental catastrophe for the Tiger Range Countries.

Habitats where wild tigers live have high economic and ecological value. Tiger lands provide vital services to humans, such as carbon sequestration,

hydrological balance, pollination services, protection from natural disasters and soil erosion, medicinal plant genetic diversity, and bio-prospecting. A majority of the Tiger Conservation Landscapes (TCLs) lie in one of the designated 25 biodiversity hotspots of the world.

The tiger is an indicator of how human society is doing with regards to the larger question of sustaining environmental quality in the face of ever-increasing demands on finite resources. The tiger’s well-being is a barometer of the critical question: Are we making the right choices to sustain the planet? Success in saving the tiger would energize ongoing efforts to fight species extinction and to protect our planet’s increasingly threatened biodiversity, which is its very life-blood.

The ChallengeChanging this trajectory toward extinction is a challenging task. Policymakers remain unaware of the immense economic and ecological value of living tigers and their natural habitats, leading to neglect of conservation objectives in national planning. Poaching continues unabated due to the weak institutional capacity for wildlife law enforcement in most Tiger Range Countries and the burgeoning global demand for tiger parts. Infrastructure planning and changes in land use that disregard the loss of tiger habitats and biodiversity, lead to habitat reduction and fragmentation. Tiger landscapes are also surrounded by pockets of poverty. Nearby communities depend on resources in these landscapes for survival. When over-exploitation of forest resources occurs, the wildlife habitats are compromised. Lack of scientific monitoring and ineffective management of landscapes contribute to habitat deterioration.

The Global Tiger Initiative The Power of Partnerships

The Global Tiger Initiative works with tiger range countries (TRCs), utilizing the convening power of the World Bank and a broad coalition of international organizations such as the Global Environment Facility, World Wildlife Fund, Wildlife Conservation Society, and Smithsonian Institution to bring support to the international conservation community. It is a vehicle to infuse a sense of urgency and energy into tiger conservation and seeks to bring about a paradigm shift in the way ecosystems are valued and governed. Leading up to the 2010 Heads of Government Tiger Summit, the GTI is bringing ‘game-changing’ strategies and political commitment to strengthening policies in favor of biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability by:

Making the world aware of the tiger and wildlife crisis

The wild tiger is well on the road to extinction, but the serious ecological and economic loss its disappearance would entail is not well understood. GTI hopes to let the world know that 2010 – the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese calendar – is likely the last chance to take concerted action and reverse this trajectory towards extinction.

Harvesting knowledge from the world’s top scientists and practitioners

Lifetimes have been devoted by many experts and conservationists to accumulating knowledge about the ongoing decline of wild tiger populations. Since its launch, the GTI has harvested from this vast pool of knowledge through a number of partnerships and global forums where all 13 Tiger Range Countries and the international conservation community have developed a collaborative program to save tigers. TRCs are already devoting considerable resources to wildlife conservation, and by looking at what has worked best and why, a Global Tiger Recovery Program (GTRP) that includes National Tiger Recovery Programs (NTRPs), has emerged with an implementation and flexible financing plan.

Securing highest-level political support and influencing public policy

Since its launch, the Global Tiger Initiative has gradually built political support in the Tiger Range Countries for a sustained program to save tigers. The Tiger Summit convenes leaders of these governmentsfor the first time to implement a program in support of wildlife conservation and biodiversity. Influencing public policy and leveraging financial support from international donors are top priorities to achieve a doubling of wild tiger populations by the next Year of the Tiger, 2022.

The Global Tiger Recovery Program (GTRP)The Global Tiger Recovery Program offers a unique opportunity for transformational change in how the world values and protects its natural heritage and natural wealth. It scales up practices that are already working in Tiger Range Countries and will support new transnational and trans-boundary actions. Taken together, the GTRP aims to achieve the global goal of doubling wild tiger populations over the next 12 years. Customized to the needs of each tiger range country, the recovery programs will be grouped into 4 areas:

4 Landscape management

4 Technology for Wildlife and monitoring systems

4 Community engagement

4 Cooperative management of international, trans-boundary landscapes

The GTRP will also support global action to fundamentally change the current dynamic threatening the extinction of the wild tiger. The key areas making up these Global Support Programs include:

4 Illegal Wildlife Trade consortium focusing on effective interdiction and on wildlife law enforcement capacity-building

4 Demand Management global awareness hard-hitting campaignsthat should persuade people to stop consuming tigers

4 Capacity-building for policy makers and practitioners of conservation in the TRCs

4 Practical monitoring systems that are consistent, transparent,scientifically defensible, and yet simple to determine how tiger conservation programs are performing are requisite in the platform for a wild tiger stabilization and recovery.

A Global Program to Save Wild Tigers

History in the Making – Heads of Government Summit in St. Petersburg

Hosted by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and actively promoted by World Bank Group President Robert B. Zoellick, world leaders will assemble in St. Petersburg, Russia, on November 21-24, 2010, to forge national and international commitments to double the number of tigers by 2022, the next Year of the Tiger. At the same time, global supporters and financiers will commit to supporting this critical and urgent program. For the first time, the eyes of the world will

turn to a gathering of global leaders and luminaries to focus on the plight of wildlife and the state of wilderness.

The heads of Tiger Range Country Governments and global partners will sign off on a Global Tiger Recovery Program, which will spell out the necessary policy and financial commitments and systems for implementation and robust monitoring. St. Petersburg will also mark a major milestone of a global awareness campaign to mobilize international support to protect the tiger from extinction. This historic Summit will mark a turning point in efforts to save wild tigers as part of our common heritage but it will only be the beginning of the Global Tiger Recovery Program work.

A consensus agenda to save wild tigers from extinction was officially sanctioned in the Hua Hin Declarationat the 1st Asia Ministerial Conference on Tiger Conservation in January 2010, and has evolved through national consultations in the tiger range countries and at the Pre-Tiger Summit Partners Dialogue in southern Bali in July. It aims to double wild tiger populations, protect biodiversity, and bring wildlife conservation into the development agenda.

Tiger Recovery GoalsThe Tiger Range Countries have set an ambitious goal: double the number of wild tigers from about 3,200 to 7,000 by 2022. Scientific analysis shows that doubling is feasible, if poaching is contained and landscapes are protected and managed for tigers and also provide benefits to local communities.

But the goal is more than just doubling tiger numbers. The Global Tiger Recovery Program (GTRP) is based on the premise that the tiger crisis represents the larger biodiversity crisis in Asia. As forest-dependent, apex predators, tigers are barometers of the health of their ecosystems - ecosystems that support an immense wealth of biodiversity that can be protected under the tiger’s umbrella.
