Tiger conservation
ZSL has conservation projects protecting these large charismatic carnivores. Tigers are at the top of the food chain and are often the first to suffer when there is pressure on the environment.
These top predators need large home ranges and so their conservation requires careful management of whole landscapes. Two-thirds of carnivore species are currently threatened by habitat loss and degradation, trade in wildlife parts and direct conflict with humans.
