Snare strikes in Bandhavgarh

This beautiful wild tiger is Chota Bheem - king of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve. Last week, he was caught in a snare. Miraculously, he managed to escape, with the cruel wire still remaining around his neck. It took five days for the Forest Department to locate and capture him, so, thankfully, he is now being treated and we expect a full recovery.

Bandhavgarh has one of the highest densities of wild tigers in the world. But they need protection. Our anti-poaching patrollers are skilled, trained, brave men and women who work tirelessly to monitor wild tigers, dismantle snares and stop poachers in their tracks. Their presence not only deters illegal activities but also provides critical data on tiger movements and health, which inform our broader conservation strategies.

Today, 3rd December, is Giving Tuesday.

Every donation made before midnight helps Tigers4Ever to access a share of ￡750,000 from GlobalGiving . The more you donate, today, the greater the proportion we receive. Monthly direct debits count too.

We are urgently raising funds so our committed tiger protectors can continue and enhance their patrols, heading deep into the forest so that Chota Bheem, his cubs and other wild tigers in Bandhavgarh can be kept safe and spared the snares.

Please donate whatever you can spare, here: https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/saving-bandhavgarhs-wild-tigers/

Your donation will help us to:

• Train and equip rangers: Providing them with the necessary tools and skills to effectively protect tigers.
• Fund patrol operations: Covering the costs of wages, transportation, communication, and field supplies.
• Continue community engagement: Helping local communities understand the importance of tiger conservation and involving them in our efforts.

Your gift, no matter the size, will have a profound impact on our ability to safeguard wild tigers. By supporting our anti-poaching patrols, you are not only helping to protect these incredible animals but also preserving the biodiversity and health of our planet.
