This video documents the rescue of a Sumatran tiger cub by the Wildlife Conservation Society-Indonesia Program.

Sadly, each year dozens of tigers across Asia share a similar or worse fate. Wire snares are impacting Asia’s already declining tiger population, estimated at fewer than 3,200 individuals.

Snares are set by poachers hunting food or targeting tigers for their skins and body parts that are sold on the illegal wildlife market. The demand is relentless and the tactics are ruthless.

To protect tigers and combat poachers, Panthera works with local and international partners to support Tigers Forever projects across the tiger’s range. The backbone of this effort is an army of field teams that patrol tirelessly to remove and prevent the setting of snares, and use tip-offs to track down and arrest poachers that set snares to kill wild tigers.

You can help protect tigers and other wild cats from snares set by poachers by donating to Panthera’s Remove a Snare campaign. Remove a Snare. Save a Life.

After surviving a terrible drought in 2009, Amboseli’s elephant mums are now helping deliver a baby boom to the park. In this video, Cynthia discusses the flood of new arrivals, how the tight bond between elephant mum and her growing baby is formed and the special ways that mum and baby communicate.

Walking on the souls of their feet like humans and bears, the fearless Wolverine is a survivor – tenacious by nature but rapidly facing extinction as they run out of terrain. At times, roaming up-to 15 miles per day for food, without such freedom chances of survival are greatly reduced.

Conservation Media presents this short film for The Wolverine Foundation exploring one of the most fascinating and least understood animals on the planet. This small, rare, and elusive creature may be able to kill a moose or fend a grizzly off a kill, but it faces serious threats such as climate change for which it is no match.
