For Tigers' founders identified that the charity’s aim was to improve captive tiger welfare in Thailand, reduce the hands-on tourist interactions prevalent in that country and promote humane, ethical and responsible welfare practices to end the suffering of captive tigers. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** The organisation’s activities benefit the public in the following manner: - Improving captive tiger welfare in Thailand by educating the public about tiger tourism venues through science-based information via a transparent website, reports, and social media platforms - Improving and promoting humane captive tiger welfare by informing and educating tiger venues on best welfare practices through training and direct aid ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. March **2012** **TAR** 4 Section D Achievements and performance ## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** ## **Achievement and Performance** ## **Charitable activities** To achieve For Tigers’ objectives, we identified the fundamental activities that are the core of all For Tigers’ activities. These include direct aid, research and resource development, partnership networks and public awareness. For the year ended December 2020: **Objective:** Direct Aid **Achievement:** This year, For Tigers was unable to fulfil any direct aid. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the government facilities were closed to the public and were not permitting outside help. We remain on standby for if and when the need arises. **Objective:** Research and resource development **Achievement:** During this financial year, our staff attended the virtual South East Asian Zoo Association (SEAZA) Annual conference where our director presented work on tiger welfare and the use of Qualitative Behaviour Assessment as an important welfare too. Our staff also attended the virtual European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) conference, the International Society for Anthrozoology Annual Conference and the Global Animal Training Summit in order to gain a better understanding of welfare issues, discuss potential steps that could be taken and to network with like-minded organisations and NGOs. During September to December 2020, we visited and assessed 28 public facilities holding captive tigers in Thailand, doing so from a tourist’s point of view. Due to Covid-19, a number of the facilities were closed either temporarily or permanently resulting in a smaller number of facilities being assessed. For this assessment we continued to use the basic animal welfare assessment form created and implemented in 2019. We also released a report detailing the common misconceptions surrounding captive tiger interactions covering such topics as drugging, speed-breeding, colour variants and more. The misunderstandings regarding these subjects has led to continuous welfare issues for captive tigers. This report is designed to help visitors to such facilities have a better understanding for what is occurring and can help them ask the right questions in order to ascertain whether the venue they are visiting is welfare orientated. **Objective:** Partnership networks **Achievement:** Talks are continuing with the tiger venue in Thailand, but with the current Covid-19 crisis, talks were put on hold. A new potential partnership is now in the early stages. For Tigers is currently creating a captive tiger enrichment programme alongside Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) in order to create a programme that can be implemented anywhere in the world, but with particular focus on those facilities that have a lower welfare understanding or do not have such expansive budgets. March **2012** **TAR** 5 Section D Achievements and performance **Objective:** Public Awareness **Achievement:** For Tigers always strives to provide clear and objective information regarding tiger welfare at the facilities across Thailand. This is disseminated via regular newsletters, a website blog and the responsible use of various social media channels. In addition, we held our third fundraising event, this year in virtual form, which was key to communicating many of the welfare issues prevalent across Thailand’s tiger facilities. We also held an online comedy event where a number of comedians helped to highlight some of the welfare issues surrounding tiger selfies. Finally, we teamed up with Roxi the Rescue Dog who released a short children’s story outlining the welfare issues surrounding tiger interactions in a format to educate the younger generation. All of our communication with the public is designed to raise effective awareness of welfare issues, elicit positive change and also to secure on going income for our work. Social media is particularly pertinent in these areas, so we are continuing to grow our audience and interaction in these areas. ## **Future Plans 2021** - We plan to continue our direct support of the two Department of National Parks (DNP) facilities housing confiscated tigers in order to continue improving and upgrading their current facilities. - We plan to create further, and continuous updated educational material to aid tourists in choosing welfare-friendly captive tiger venues - We aim to continue creating educational and/or training material such as enrichment guides that can be delivered to staff working with tigers in Thai venues. - All educational and training material is planned to be translated into Thai (for venue staff), and various other languages including Mandarin, Russian, Hindi and French in order to reach, and educate, a wider range of tourist groups - We will continue to develop additional research opportunities with zoos and NGO partners - We will identify facilities willing to accept support, aid and advice to become more welfare aware. - We intend to continue working with the tiger venue, supporting their progress and transition March **2012** **TAR** 6 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** The charity aims to keep in reserve sufficient funds to cover the running costs such as those applicable for website and domain usage. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** N/a ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** **Financial Review** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: Total income from donations for the period was £3881 Rollover total from 2019 was £1056 Total expenditure for this period was £253 **Funds Policies** - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - • how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - The 2021 expected expenditure is £5000, which aims to allow for - supported the key objectives development in a number of areas including direct aid and dissemination - of the charity; of educational materials, as well as the potential development of venue - • investment policy and resource materials.
