Tigers United at Clemson

Icons of Strength, Beauty and Cultural Heritage. Wild Tigers are on the Brink of Vanishing Forever.

Why Tigers? Why Now?

Over the last 100 years there has been a 95% decline in the wild tiger population. Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam have completely lost their wild tigers.

Tiger habitats provide essential ecosystem services, that underpin livelihood security health and overall human prosperity. There are a little over 5,000 wild tigers remaining today.
