Putting Our Hands Together to Protect Tigers Globally

An additional USD 1 billion has been committed to global tiger conservation.

“Tigers represent much more than endangered animals. Tigers represent the health of our forests and resilience of entire ecosystems. More importantly, tigers represent our collective wellbeing and that of our future,” says His Excellency the Prime Minister of Bhutan, Dasho Tshering Tobgay.
