Driven
to the brink of extinction in the wild, they need YOUR help! |

Meet Telia, the
Bengal tigress. Her beauty is mesmerising, her power awesome. She would die
protecting her four young cubs. But she and
her family are defenceless against well-armed poachers.
A dead tiger is
worth a lot of money, killed for their fur and butchered for their bones. There
is a price on Telia’s head.
And as habitat is
lost and prey devasted, tigers hungrily turn to livestock. The consequences can
be deadly. |

96% of tigers have
been wiped out in just 100 years and only 4,000 remain in the wild. Yet, many
thousands are captive around the world, in zoos and circuses, as backyard
‘pets’. Exploited for entertainment or as status symbols.
Poached,
farmed, butchered, exploited, abused. These are dark days for the world’s
largest cat.
But there is
hope. India is home to 75% of all wild tigers and Born Free’s hard, long-term
work to protect them against poachers with dedicated tiger wardens, to educate
and train local communities, and provide biogas to negate the need for firewood
collection, has seen numbers DOUBLE, from 1,411 to 3,000 since we began in 2004.
But we need to do more. Much more. Your gift TODAY could help secure a future
for tigers like Telia and protect wild tigers for future generations.

Or care for a
rescued tiger like Gopal or Sandro, who need lifetime sanctuary and expert
care.
And help us
campaign to end exploitation of tigers in captivity all over the world. Stop
the cruelty of farms, change the laws on keeping exotic pets, rescue tigers
from abusive captivity.
“This appeal comes from our hearts. Tigers are ravishing, complex creatures, with intricate lives and a myriad of personalities and life-stories. It would be a vile disgrace if we allow them to be hunted and persecuted to extinction. Help us – help Born Free’s work to save the tiger. Dig deep dearest friend, please. Give what you can.” Joanna Lumley OBE, Born Free Founder Patron |

Your gift could make all the difference for our rescued tigers Gopal and Sandro, and support brave rangers who put their lives on the
line to protect Telia and India’s other precious tigers.
£10: Could buy a first aid kit for a tiger warden
£50: Could provide binoculars for a tiger warden £195: Could provide a week’s expert care for Sandro £2,000: Could buy fridge/freezer for Gopal’s food – critical due
