Knowsley Safari has teamed up with WildCats Conservation Alliance (an initiative of the Zoological Society of London) to help save Amur tigers in the wild by raising awareness of their endangered status and contributing to their projects.

Saving wild tigers for future generations

Wild tigers are under threat of extinction due to the loss of their natural habitats, illegal poaching and the decline of the animals they hunt for food. We’re asking for your help and support so that together we can Roar for Amur, keeping these charismatic predators safe for future generations.

Amur tigers were on the brink of extinction in the 1930s, but conservation efforts pulled their numbers up from less than 30 individuals to somewhere between 480 and 540 in 2020 but this is still far too few and continued threats mean the population is not safe, and sustained conservation efforts are still vital. Knowsley Safari is committed to supporting WildCats Conservation Alliance's work in the wild to save wild Amur tigers for future generations.

Small change can lead to BIG changes. Help us protect the endangered Amur tiger with a donation of as little as £1.

So, where will your money be going? 

1.   Anti-Poaching

Anti-poaching teams work hard to keep Amur tigers and their prey safe. They patrol protected wild areas using advanced technology to find and stop poachers from illegal hunting.

2.   Human-Wildlife Conflict

As human populations grow, wild animals are losing their homes, and when the forest doesn't have enough food for carnivores like tigers, they sometimes go looking for livestock to eat instead. Working with local communities and vets, WCA funds projects to develop better strategies for people and big cats to coexist peacefully.

3. Population Monitoring

Studying population dynamics is crucial to understanding what is happening to tigers in the wild. Using camera traps indicates how many tigers are living in different areas - they can also recognise individual tigers by their unique stripe patterns too which can give intel on movement patterns and breeding.

4.   Education & Outreach

WildCats funds projects that are educating the younger generations, teaching them about nature, animals and how to protect Amur tigers and other wildlife. The goal is to spark their interest in wildlife now so they will want to help keep incredible animals like Amur tigers around in the future!

Providing a future for wild Amur tigers is in our hands - together we can protect these beautiful cats and the habitats they safeguard.
