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, making them an endangered species. 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.
We need help NOW to intervene before we lose this animal for good. Your donations can help save endangered species like the Indochinese tiger and their habitats.
That's why this June, Greater Good Charities is expanding our global biodiversity efforts to study key ecosystems at the Sao La Nature Reserve in Vietnam. 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. With your help, 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.
Global Discovery Expeditions is a program of Greater Good Charities, dedicated to exploring, studying, and protecting key biodiversity hotspots facing imminent threat and loss by providing the initial key step in conservation – the observation and recording of living species within an ecosystem.
Greater Good Charities has ultimate authority and discretion with regard to the distribution of its funds. All expenditures made are consistent with the exempt purposes of Greater Good Charities.
