Tiger landscapes are vital to maintaining biodiversity, sequestering carbon, and providing resources to over 100 million people. Tiger conservation is also important for the Global Wildlife Program (GWP), with eight tiger range countries participating in the GWP on topics such as combating illegal trade in tiger parts, building human-tiger coexistence, and restoring and connecting tiger landscapes.
The GWP, funded by the Global Environment Facility and led by the World Bank, was proud to sponsor the Sustainable Finance for Tiger Landscapes Conference in Bhutan on April 22-23, 2024. The conference was hosted by the Royal Government of Bhutan, under the patronage of Her Majesty The Queen, Jetsun Pema Wangchuck, and convened by the Tiger Conservation Coalition, whose member organizations include the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA), Fauna & Flora International (FFI), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN); Natural State; Panthera, TRAFFIC, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and the Zoological Society of London.
