LIVE TIGER WEBCAM AT TARONGA ZOO


More info: Sumatran Tigers inhabit the tropical rainforests on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. Current estimates indicate there are around 300-500 wild Sumatran Tigers with a rapidly decreasing trend due to habitat destruction for palm oil plantations and poaching for the illegal wildlife trade.

Taronga Conservation Society Australia is an Australian Government based, non-profit organisation which works to conserve wildlife and habitat across Australia and the world.

Taronga is part of a regional conservation management plan for Sumatran Tigers. Taronga’s involvement in the International Conservation Insurance Breeding Program is carefully monitored to ensure the species are managed with high genetic diversity, to provide a healthy and viable insurance population for the future.
