ADOPT A TIGER

Richmond Football Club and WWF-Australia have partnered to help double the number of wild tigers and save them from extinction.

Make a lifesaving difference to tigers

Richmond Football Club and WWF-Australia have partnered to help double the number of wild tigers and save them from extinction.

Since the inception of Richmond Football Club in 1885, the population of wild tigers has plummeted by about 95%.

100,000 tigers were roaming the wild just 100 years ago. But by 2010, as few as 3,200 were left. Their numbers have since increased to around 3,890 - an encouraging sign that tragedy can be turned around for these magnificent creatures. But we need to act now.  Daily threats continue to threaten tigers' survival. Their body parts are in relentless demand, leaving them in constant danger of illegal poaching. 93% of their habitat has been destroyed, their forest homes cleared for agriculture, timber and road building. And when they compete for space with humans, they can be killed. 

Adopting a tiger today can help protect them from extinction. Your monthly donations will symbolise your support for conservation and animal advocacy, and ensure tigers remain part of our environment forever. And for each tiger you assist, you'll help a host other species too.
