Save the Tiger Fund - Tiger Photograph Bank
The Save the Tiger Fund is based in Washington, USA, and as part of its campaign it collects and collates a database of Tigers, photographed by members of the public, researchers and experts. One way for you to engage in tiger conservation is to take photos of wild tigers you see on your holiday vacation, and then to share the images with tiger researchers through our link with Save the Tiger Fund in the US. This will help us to keep a track of which reserves still have tigers, and because of their unique stripe-patterns, we could even count tigers in a reserve based on photos that you submit. Click here to report a wild tiger sighting.
