Life on Tiger Island
Less than 4,000 remain
There are approximately 4,000 tigers remaining in the wild and their survival is constantly threatened.
Three subspecies extinct
With three subspecies already extinct, the plight of the tiger is a serious problem largely caused by humans in three major ways: hunting, poaching and destruction of the habitat.
At the current rate of poaching and habitat loss, it is estimated that tigers in the wild could completely disappear within the next ten years.
We're their voice
Through the Dreamworld Wildlife Foundation (DWF), we endeavour to be the voice for those that cannot speak. By backing global conservation initiatives and fostering education around endangered species since 2012, we are helping to make a dramatic change. More than $3.5 million dollars has been raised through DWF to help save species such as tigers, koalas, bilbies and tree kangaroos.
