| Dear Friend of Wildlife, I have incredible news: in honor of International Tiger Day (today!) a generous donor has issued a matching gift challenge for today only. And even better: the first $8,000 raised today will be TRIPLED. Don't delay, give now for 3x the impact! Your $5 automatically becomes $15 Your $25 automatically becomes $75 Your $50 automatically becomes $150 Your $100 automatically becomes $300 Your $250 automatically becomes $750 With fewer than 4,000 left in the wild, tigers are in deep crisis, but your generous decision to protect these amazing animals from poachers' guns and snares will never have a bigger impact. Please don't miss this rare opportunity to have your gift TRIPLED and protect the last wild tigers! WCS has more boots on the ground protecting tigers than any other non-profit organization in the world. Here's what you'll make possible when you stand up for tigers with a generous gift today: Cracking down on poachers and traffickers. People looking to profit off killing tigers and selling their body parts are a key threat to their survival. WCS's Wildlife Crimes Unit works with local police to track down these criminals and bring them to justice. Our work is so effective, we don't even need to capture all the criminals to get them off the job: In one former hotspot in Indonesia, 10% of the former traffickers quit on their own, too frightened to continue their criminal ways after we had locked up about 60% of the traffickers in the area. Donate now to help put 3x the criminals behind bars >> Pioneering state-of-the-art science to track tigers. Counting and tracking tigers is essential to saving them. It's only with accurate information that we can know the places where tigers are in the most trouble and which strategies are working to protect them. Our sophisticated network of camera "traps," radio tracking, and more to give us the most accurate picture possible of how tigers are doing in the wild. Donate now to fund 3x the cutting-edge research >> Protecting the most critical habitats. Our work to save tigers focuses on "source sites" – areas that have the most potential to support a wild tiger comeback. This enables us to concentrate resources where they can have the biggest impact. If we can reach our goals, the wild tigers in these areas will nearly triple and increase the overall wild tiger population by nearly 50%! Donate now to help protect 3x the tiger habitats >> We have a plan to bring wild tigers back but whether we can achieve it depends on what people like you and me do in moments like this. This chance to TRIPLE your impact won't last all day. Act quickly and help secure a future for wild tigers! Thank you for your support.
