For a thousand years, the Himalayan mountain passes were part of the ancient trade routes, including the Silk Road, that connected India and China. Merchants travelled west from China carrying silk, while others travelled east with textiles, wine and gold.

Today, organised criminal gangs use these same remote roads to smuggle lucrative illegal wildlife products from India and Nepal to Tibet and China.

Tiger body parts are some of the most highly prized goods. Often concealed among items such as wooden bowls, brassware and blankets, they are illicitly transported across the borders on yaks, donkeys and horses or in trucks.

Can you give £10? Or whatever you can afford, to help us save tigers and other endangered species.

With your help, we’ve never stopped fighting to protect tigers. We’ve achieved some incredible successes in curbing this brutal trade.

Will you help us again today, as we launch a new project? For our latest programme, we’re working with partners in India and Nepal to tighten the net on the wildlife criminals who think they can get away with poaching, killing and selling endangered animals. 

By making a donation today,  you can help us continue our vital campaign to protect tigers and other endangered wildlife species from illegal trafficking.
