The presence of tigers is crucial for a healthy forest ecosystem, one that provides us with critical ecological services such as clean air, fresh water, climate regulation, flood mitigation, natural resources and more.

If tigers were to go extinct, the entire ecosystem would collapse. The absence of an apex predator will start a chain reaction – overpopulation of prey, which feeds on vegetation, and eventually strips the forest of cover. In time, a once healthy forest will turn into an empty one devoid of wildlife.

If the tiger species survives, so will our forests and the entire ecosystem – and us.
