Save The Tiger Fund

ExxonMobil was instrumental in the establishment of the Save The Tiger Fund in 1995. A partnership between ExxonMobil, the National Fish and Wildlife Fund, and the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund, the Save The Tiger Fund is dedicated to supporting the conservation of Asia’s remaining wild tigers.

ExxonMobil has provided $1 million annually to support the Save The Tiger Fund since its establishment and more than $13 million in total in tiger-range countries since 1992. This represents one of the largest corporate commitments ever made to saving a species.

In the early '90s, many predicted that tigers would be nearing extinction in the wild by the year 2000. Save The Tiger Fund is one of only a handful of organizations worldwide to focus solely on tigers. 

Since its establishment in 1995, Save The Tiger Fund has awarded 270 grants totaling over $13.4 million dollars to support tiger focused projects in 13 of the 14 tiger-range countries. Thousands of individuals, from school children to business professionals, have joined ExxonMobil, Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation in contributing to the effort to save the tiger, and they are making an impact from the snowy forests of the Russian Far East to the steamy jungles of Indonesia.

The Fund invests in a variety of different projects that increase cooperation and communication, build local leadership, and deliver effective on-the-ground conservation to tigers in human-dominated landscapes.

Save the Tiger Fund grants comprise nearly one-third of all funds invested in tiger conservation worldwide. The Fund works with international organizations such as World Wildlife Fund, Wildlife Conservation Society and WildAid along with local native organizations in tiger-range countries.
