How can YOU save a tiger this month?

The constant struggle that tigers are under to survive in the wild is being put into the spotlight more than ever with September being designated as ‘National Save a Tiger Month’ in America. With less than 4,000 tigers reportedly left in the wild, these figures are a major cause for concern. There are world wide conservation efforts being put forward by a number of large organisations such as WWF to highlight the major threats to wild tigers and being able to nullify them bef

Walk For Tigers

Yesterday marked the first Walk For Tigers fundraising event, and with its great success, we hope to make this an annual activity. Starting in Lion Yard in the centre of Cambridge, our walkers left at around 9.30am, taking the main route out of town straight through to Shepreth Wildlife Park. Along the route we gathered more walkers until our 'streak of tigers' was ten people strong. All dressed as tigers, face painting dripping off thanks to the unusual high temperatures for

TWO YEARS ON: WHERE ARE THE TIGER TEMPLE TIGERS NOW?

It’s been two years since the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi, Thailand was closed and the tigers relocated to government facilities. It looked to be a new beginning for captive tigers in Thailand with government officials announcing that they would be cracking down on facilities across the country. However, two years on and there are more facilities offering tiger selfie and interaction opportunities, not less. In terms of the tigers from Tiger Temple however, sadly things did

FOLLOW THE TIGERS: ENCLOSURE NO.5 BECOMES TWO!

Follow the tigers: The latest updates for Enclosure No. 5 show the platforms coming up and the ponds almost done. However, unlike the previous enclosures, this one has now been split into two making two smaller outside areas. The way these enclosures have been built, is that the current cages for the tigers bookend the enclosure, allowing one tiger access at a time – a system in place for the first enclosures that were built. This does mean that the tigers have to take turns

11 environmental tips to consider before lights out for Earth Hour

Earth Hour was launched 11 years ago today in Sydney Australia as a ‘lights out’ event with the aim of inspiring people around the globe to act on the environmental crisis our world now faces. Now the largest environmental movement, Earth Hour relies on members of the public to power this movement with the support of WWF and other charitable organisations to highlight the extreme climate change, the accelerating loss of biodiversity and the immediate need to protect our natur

FOLLOW THE TIGERS: MOVING FORWARD WITH UPGRADES

Once again we were able to visit the government facilities, though unfortunately not really able to see the tigers themselves bar a few in the areas that we were looking to do upgrades in. With our partnership with WildHeart Foundation well and truly underway, we donated carnivore supplement to both facilities and were able to take one of the WildHeart members along with us. We then discussed in depth the progress that we wished to make for both facilities which included a ne

TEMPLE TIGERS UPDATE: SURGERIES

As we mentioned yesterday, there were a few of the Temple tigers undergoing an operation for their respiratory problems. Today we learnt that it was three of our tigers (still unidentified) and that the vets would be heading to the second facility today to perform more surgeries. Hopefully everything goes well and that the tigers are all on a quick and successful road to recovery. #fortigers #DNP #savethetigers #captivetigers #animalwelfare #tigertemple #thailand

Tiger Temple tigers: RIP Sangtawan & Farkram Jr

GRAPHIC IMAGES: This is a video from the Department of National Parks (DNP) and sadly, the video does show footage of three of the Tiger Temple tigers that have now died. The first image is of Jomnapah (already known to have passed on March 4th 2017), the second is of Sangtawan, the third of Farkram Jr. If you would like to give these images a miss, then skip the video between 4.10 – 4.23. The last two tiger’s deaths were previously unknown to us. Rest in Peace Sangtawan and

Temple Tiger Update

Another visit was permitted today, though due to health issues some areas were off limits so we were unable to visit all the tigers. The new enclosures are currently having their ponds upgraded which is great as they are now bigger but a bit of a downer as the tigers can't go out in them for the time being. As you know, some of the tigers have already died, more are continuing to do so and still some of the tigers are suffering from various medical issues which are currently

The first tigers are out!!

Finally it's here! The update we've all been waiting for!! Today was the test run for the enclosures that you've helped to build. Saiduan was the lucky tiger chosen and while it took her a little time to come out, when she did she explored everywhere. Up on the platform, a dip in the pond, some tree scratching, she did it all. Thank you everyone who has helped make this possible. Over the next few day the other tigers will be venturing forth as well so we will continue to kee

Tiger Temple Update

Okay, so this isn't quite the news we were hoping to give you all on International Tiger day but it's great nonetheless!! The four enclosures are now finished! The remaining part at the top to stop the tigers escaping has been done and the electric fencing all hooked up! We are now simply waiting on a test run to see how the tigers behave in their new environment before they can be released full time outside :) Then its just a case of raising more funds for the next set of e

Thailand's Tiger Facilities

With the Tiger Temple getting closed a year ago, many people assumed this was the start of the Thai government cracking down on tigers in tourism. However this is not the case. A year on and there are in fact more facilities catering to the 'tiger selfie' industry - Tiger Kingdom opened its fourth branch just this January down in Pattaya. Part of our work is to raise awareness for Thailand's captive tigers and in February and March 2017 we undertook detailed assessment of 37

What do the handlers think about the move?

Here is a video interview with two of the Temple tiger handlers released by Bangkok Post. It shows the side that many media choose not to show, it shows the carers side of the story about the removal of the Tigers from the Temple. #followthetigerscampaign #savethetigers #captivetigers #tigertemple #tigertourism

Ten tigers gone from Tiger Temple

On 28th January 2016, five of the Temple's male tigers were removed to the government facilities. These five were: Dao Nua Jr, Broma, Saka, Dao Tie and Dao Tok. One month later, today, 23rd February, five more males have been relocated there. This time: Dawie, Happy, Dao Lurk, Mek Nua Jr (aka Liverpool) and Diamond. Here are some images showing the first ten tigers in the DNP facilities versus their home at Tiger Temple. *Images of DNP facilities provided by DNP #savethetiger
