Unleashing the Power of Wildlife Conservation Bonds

Collaboration could pave way for a groundbreaking Tiger Bond

Watching Malaysia’s Last Tigers, I felt sickened by a scene showing one of these majestic creatures hobbling on three limbs after it had to bite off one of them to escape from traps set by poachers. The filmmaking team of Lara Ariffin and Harun Rahman behind this documentary founded RIMAU in 2018 to save the Malayan tiger (Panthera Tigris Jacksoni) and its habitat. The number of Malayan tigers has dropped precipitously from over 3,000 in the 1950s to fewer than 200 currently. Without significant protection, this species, found only in Peninsular Malaysia, will face extinction.
