To celebrate Global Tiger Day we are having a tiger extravaganza at the Wildheart Animal Sanctuary this weekend.
Global Tiger day is an annual celebration to help raise awareness for tigers and their conservation. The aim of the day is to promote a global system that will help to protect the natural habitats of tigers and to raise public awareness and support for tiger conservation issues. Here at the Sanctuary we help to deliver on this aim through our daily animal talks and this weekend we have a host of tiger related activities to help the next generation understand the importance of protecting this rare species.

Supporting WildCAT-C
As part of our commitment to conservation, we partner with organisations, including WildCAT-C, in India, who work to preserve the natural habitats of wild tigers.
WildCAT-C is a community-led organisation, working to protect animals through science based conservation actions, advocacy, legal and policy interventions, community support and nature education.
This weekend we are helping to raise much needed funds for WIldCAT-C. These donations will go to support:
- Education around tiger conservation issues
- Protecting the tiger habitats
- Addressing human-animal conflict in these regions.
