Global Tiger Forum
 India  |  Animals/Wildlife

To promote a worldwide campaign to save the tiger, its prey and its habitat; To urge the international community to abandon use of tiger products and eliminate illegal trade in parts, and derivatives of tiger.

In the decision of the International Symposium on Tiger held at New Delhi during February 1993 wherein a Delhi declaration on tiger conservation was adopted by the participants of the conference, there was a recommendation that a Global Tiger Forum be set up to embark on a world wide campaign to save the wild tiger. As a follow up of the decision, the first meeting of the tiger range countries was held in March 1994 at New Delhi attended by 11 tiger range states and others. In the said meeting a resolution was passed to form the Global Tiger Forum with its secretariat at New Delhi and the Union Minister for Environment & Forest, Govt. of India as the first Chairman of this forum. A Global Tiger Forum is therefore established with members from the willing countries who have tiger populations so that, through regular exchange of information and experience, the status of the tiger can be closely monitored and its future duly safeguarded. It is recognised that a wide range of skills and experience relevant to the preservation of tiger exists both within the Government and Non-Government sectors. The Global Tiger Forum shall seek to mobilise all available expertise to preserve the tiger and its habitat.
