Rimau - Hope for Malayan Tigers
“The Malayan Tiger is the symbol of our national pride. In the 1950's more than 3,000 tigers roamed Malaysia's jungles - today less than 200 live in the wild. RIMAU's purpose is to ensure that the Malayan tiger survives into the next century.” - source: rimau.ngo
RIMAU'S VISION STATEMENT
ASSURE THE FUTURE OF OUR TIGERS AS PART OF MALAYSIAN AND WORLD HERITAGE
Our vision is to ensure that the Malayan Tiger is valued as a critical part of our Malaysian and world heritage, and that all steps are taken to preserve and improve our tigers’ chances for survival in the long term.
Our vision incorporates a future where our tiger numbers increase rapidly, they can prosper in well-managed forests with ample prey species for them to feed on, where the threat of poaching has been eliminated, snares have been cleared and no longer represent a dire threat to the well-being of tigers and other forest animals.
We believe that protecting the Malayan Tiger, a flagship species, will help to ensure that our fauna, flora and biodiversity is conserved for our future generations and that of the world.
