About Tiger Awareness


Tiger Awareness was formed in 1998 to give the public more awareness on the plight of the tiger.

We are a voluntary non-profit making charity and give free talks to schools, the public, and other organisations. All donations and funds raised go towards tiger projects.

Cycling for the Tiger
I arrived in Bandhavgarh on November 26th at around 9.30 am, my cycle and equipment all arrived with me safely. I built up the bike later that day after the afternoon safari, where we observed some Tigers though they where at a distance. November 27th, took the morning safari where we also observed
a Tigress stalking prey.

Our Projects
We work in India at present which is where there are approximately 50% of the world’s wild tigers. We work in the Sundarbans and have provided funds to help in:

  •  Sundarbans
  •  Ranthambhore
  •  Buxa
  •  Jharkhand
  •  Bandhavgarh

We have also supplied a small amount of medical items for the hospital on Satjelia island.

 compensation for tiger attacks We have set up a cattle compensation scheme, with our partners monitoring cases. In December 2008, we compensated 21 villagers for loss of cattle to the tiger in the Khitauli area, which is outside the Bandhavgarh National Park.

In addition, Tiger Awareness has also supplied:

  • mosquito nets, cycles and binoculars to forest guards in Ranthambhore
  • bicycles in Buxa for the daily wage staff to help them move more easily around the forest
  • stretchers to help the sick people in the remote hills in Buxa Duar
  • sleeping bags
  • binoculars for the forest guards so as to help them in their duty to protect the forest and its mammals.

We have recently supplied a Tato Sumo vehicle to be used in all areas of conservation with our partners ICNL in Kolkata.

We have supplied funds for a water project in Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary, Jharkhand and in the Sunderbans.

More Donation of Funds - 2009
We have given some funds to help on Satjelia Island in the Sundarbans after Cyclone Aila - the island was devastated.There were many Tigers displaced due to the cyclone.

We compensated 20 plus villagers for cattle lifted by Tiger outside Bandhavgarh National Park.
