International Tiger Project was a registered business name originally owned by Wildlife Conservation International (WCI) Incorporated, which was founded in 1998.
Over two decades WCI has grown considerably due to the valuable support of donors and the relationships that were established with other conservation groups, local authorities and businesses. Initially saving orangutans, through The Orangutan Project, it also started saving other Critically Endangered species such as Sumatran tigers (International Tiger Project) and Sumatran elephants (International Elephant Project). Finally starting its humanitarian project Forests for People.
Today, Wildlife Conservation International is a dynamic, fast-growing and successful not-for-profit organisation that supports a wide range of critical projects that address the holistic problem facing remaining fragmented populations of Critically Endangered species - including fighting deforestation and habitat loss at the highest level.
The projects funded by Wildlife Conservation International not only include direct species conservation, but also forest habitat protection and regeneration, education, research and local community partnerships. Tying funding into direct outcomes for species has enabled Wildlife Conservation International to partner with the majority ofconservation projects operating on the ground today in Borneo and Sumatra.
This has greatly increased overall efficiency and transparency in saving the species as a whole, bringing together the key players and groups who are working tirelessly on the ground to ensure the species’ survival.
The long-term growth and sustainability of Wildlife Conservation International has been made possible only by the loyal support of our individual donors, many of whom have supported the organisation each year since inception.
Through tiger, orangutan and elephant ‘adoptions’, regular donations and critical appeals, the organisation has been able to achieve more for the species than any other orangutan conservation group. The ongoing support from our individual donors is imperative for the organisation to reach our Vision.
All tigers will live in their natural habitat in secure and viable populations.
To ensure the survival of Sumatran tigers in their natural habitat by undertaking genuine, measurable and effective tiger conservation.
Since its formation in 1998, WCI has contributed more than USD$20 million directly into orangutan conservation projects and has earned a reputation amongst its partners and donors for being financially responsible and transparent.
We are committed to making sure your donations work as hard as possible. We don’t have an office - each member of our team works from their own home, using their own electricity, internet and infrastructure. This helps keep our overheads amongst the very lowest in the sector, and ensures as much of your donation as possible goes straight to where it’s needed most.
We are also working hard to increase and secure our future income streams. Our big goal is to raise USD$13 million dollars every year because we know that’s the only way we can secure the long term survival of all species, and safeguard their jungle habitat. And we will achieve this, with your help!
Our approach to conservation supports a wide range of critical projects that address the holistic problems facing Critically Endangered Sumatran tigers - along with orangutans, Asian elephants and indigenous forest communities - including fighting deforestation and habitat loss at the highest levels.
