How to Save a Tiger​

USAID’s tiger champions work to protect big cats in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal​

Tigers are among the world’s most charismatic species, presiding over the mangroves and rainforests of Asia with a regal presence. Throughout history, we have admired these incredible creatures. However, during the 20th century, tigers nearly went extinct due to human-wildlife conflict, poaching, and habitat loss.

When USAID began investing in tiger conservation in 2010, there were only 3,200 tigers in the wild. Working with partners, we have reached a population of 5,574 in 2023. Despite these gains, numerous threats to forests and ecosystems still exist and the tiger remains endangered. Every effort to conserve these majestic cats is as crucial as their role to regulate prey populations and maintain the balance of the entire food cycle.

On International Tiger Day, I want to celebrate the dedicated USAID tiger champions at our Missions in South Asia who work tirelessly to ensure these iconic animals thrive for generations to come.

In 2014, USAID Senior Technical Specialist Sumaiya Firoze managed USAID’s Bengal Tiger Conservation Activity, helping train Village Tiger Response Teams. The locally-led initiative is implemented by WildTeam, in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution, the Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies, and the Bangladesh Forest Department.

India is home to about 66 percent of the world’s wild tigers, according to 2023 estimates from the Global Tiger Forum.

USAID Project Management Specialist Soumitri Das’ interest in biodiversity conservation started with a field visit to Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in 1996 as part of his graduate studies. Later, he got an internship with the Biodiversity Conservation Prioritisation Project, which was funded by USAID.

Tiger Matters was Soumitri’s first project supporting big cats. USAID and the Wildlife Conservation Trust focused on the Central Indian Landscape, home to a large number of Indian tigers, and provided the resources to establish new tiger conservation areas, such as the Umred-Karhandla and Ghodazari wildlife sanctuaries.

Nepal
Thanks in part to USAID’s big cat conservation work over the last 14 years, the wild tiger population in Nepal has rebounded from a dangerously low 121 tigers in 2009 to 355 tigers in 2022. This success, nearly tripling its tiger population, far exceeded Nepal’s international commitment to double its wild tiger population by 2022.

USAID Environment Specialist Netra Sharma Sapkota is proud to have managed several tiger conservation programs in partnership with other organizations and the government of Nepal. Working across the traditional tiger range of the Terai protected areas, buffer zones, and community forests, Netra has led the efforts to improve park-community relations, boost livelihood opportunities, and combat poaching.

Here we go, Libtards will dig and scratch and find any little program USAID supported that could be considered valid uses of our tax dollars. This of course is supposed to shame us all into regret for being rightfully livid about the absolute fraud the bureaucrats have imposed on all of us. As long as a few dollars went to good causes the money laundering is acceptable, makes sense to a drone.

^^^ Supports cutting off funding to preserve endangered species and maintain their habitat.

Oh I see, suddenly you are sympathetic to some USAID funded programs, but not to others.

President Musk wants to blow up the whole thing, so you don't get to pick and choose what programs you like. That option is not available to you. Which means in practical terms, you are supporting the elimination of funded programs to preserve tigers and other endangered species.

Tubbyton is a typical filthy, soulless, low-minded piece of trumper garbage.

Dreams that one day maybe he'll be invited to accompany the lowlife sprogs of his criminal hero...

.....on a staged "hunt" in which the prey cannot escape and the paid guides do everything but point the rifle and pull the trigger.

Murder another magnificent work of nature to satisfy his own sick need to feel like something he'll never be...

....a man.

Let's see if Tubbyton tries to deflect by making a false issue out of the big cat in the picture not being a tiger.

No deflection here, I'm not the moron that values a wild animal more than an innocent human being. You own that, or do I have that wrong?

Hunting has never been that appealing to me. I've been hunting and killed a bird or two, had a good meal. I wonder if you value that cat more than the bird I shot. Maybe not, although I suspect you feel the same way when I crack an egg in the morning. lol

I have no idea where your hypocrisy starts or ends, why don't you tell me?

Exactly what have I ever said here that would make you jump to such an incredibly moronic conclusion as that?

Your words from your above post, describing how you view programs to save animals... "...any little program USAID supported that could be considered valid uses of our tax dollars."

So your admission then, is that you consider the saving of endangered tigers, one of the most magnificent creatures in all of nature, as just "any little program".

IOW you don't give a shit because your orange asshole told you not to give a shit.

We all know where yours does, it starts as soon as you open your mouth and ends as soon as you STFU.

Because you're just another ignorant obnoxious right-wing trumper asswipe with no brains and even less of a soul.

Note: As for your ignorant comment... "I'm not the moron that values a wild animal more than an innocent human being. You own that, or do I have that wrong?" I will say that it depends on who the human being is and what you define as innocent.

If the human being is you or any other low life right-wing trumper shitbag, I place the value of any animal above your level of trash. No matter how "innocent" you CLAIM to be.

What helps the tiger helps us too. Saving tigers means preserving and enhancing their habitat. Better ecological habitat means cleaner water, cleaner air, and less carbon dioxide emissions for humans.

At the cost of Indian lives and Indian farming. So racist :palm:

Shark finning, long line fishing, and bottom trawling are bigger issues.

Use some of the Trillions spent on climate change that have done absolutely nothing to change the planets temp by even 1/1000th of a degree.

^^ Suddenly becomes sympathetic to a USAID funded program.

You don't have the option to pick and choose which USAID programs you want to keep.
Your tangerine Messiah and your tech billionaire overlord want to blow it all up.
Including programs for tiger conservation, endangered species protection, and habitat enhancement.

Did FOX order you to believe USAID only funds sex change operations in Bangladesh and Zimbabwe?
