The Endangered Indochinese Tiger Is On The Brink Of Extinction
The Indochinese tiger is rapidly disappearing. Though this solitary tiger was once abundant in the mountains, midlands, and islands of Vietnam, they are now close to being lost entirely. By 2020, their population had already declined by over 80%. Now, some studies estimate that only 350 Indochinese tigers remain today. In Vietnam, their number could be in the single digits by now.
This rapid decline in the Indochinese tiger population is caused by poaching, habitat fragmentation, and habitat loss. Tigers are poached for their skins and body parts which are used in traditional Chinese medicines and the larger Asian market. Additionally, despite being a master of the wild, this big cat cannot compete with human populations for land and food.
Greater Good Charities has taken several expeditions to Vietnam to study key ecosystems at the Sao La Nature Reserve. This region is a globally recognized key biodiversity area in the He province on a northern flank of mountains that are part of the Annamite Mountain chain. With the help of your donations, American and Vietnamese scientists will study the flora and fauna of the region to help propel conservation efforts. Together, we can protect this biodiverse region for endangered species like the Indochinese tiger.
This research is a vital step in the conservation of endangered species in Vietnam. Please give today before it's too late.
