Here at Zoo New England, we're committed to tiger conservation. Here's what we're doing to protect this endangered species:
-Species Survival Program: Zoo New England participates in the tiger Species Survival Plan. By sharing research and knowledge, participating institutions work together to establish guidelines that best ensure the health of captive populations, and with success, the survival of otherwise extinct species.
-Wildlife Trafficking Alliance: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service inspections of medicinal shops in the U.S. still find items made from, or containing, tiger parts. Tiger parts are believed to have aphrodisiac and curative properties, and one poached tiger can yield thousands of dollars. Tigers are also poached for their pelts. Zoo New England is a partner with the Wildlife Trafficking Alliance, a coalition of more than 70 nonprofit organizations, companies and AZA-accredited aquariums and zoos, that are working together to combat the illegal trade of wildlife.
