TIGER CONSERVATION -
A GLOBAL SUCCESS STORY

In 1990s, WWF India initiated a focused Tiger Conservation Programme & currently works in six tiger landscapes: Terai Arc, Sundarbans, Central India, Brahmaputra, Western Ghats - Nilgiris and Western India Tiger Landscapes.
SAVING OUR
RIVERS & WETLANDS
Freshwater environments include rivers, lakes, wetlands, streams and underground aquifers. Freshwater is crucial for sustenance of life on the planet. WWF India’s River for Life, Life for River programme is aimed at ensuring ecological integrity of rivers and their associated ecosystems, and sustainable water management. This is helping improve the population and habitats of endemic and endangered aquatic species like Gangetic dolphins, gharial, otters, golden mahseer fish and turtles.
