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 2022: Objective: Direct Aid Achievement: This year, For Tigers continued its collaboration with the Department of National Parks (DNP). This year, For Tigers provided chicken and pork when requested, to both facilities. Food was provided as part of an emergency request. Additionally, we were able to fund the building of three more enclosures in Khao Son DNP facility. The enclosure project funded the building of external fencing. For this year, this project is still in progress with the enclosures only partially built. When these three enclosures are completed, all tigers within this one facility will have access to an enclosure. Project completion date is due to be 2023. Finally, we also began a collaboration with Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT). This organisation is a rescue and rehabilitation facility within Thailand. During this year, we paid for transport costs and transport cages to aid in the rescue of 11 tigers from the closed-down Phuket Zoo. By providing direct aid in this rescue, For Tigers was able to contribute to one of the first, non-governmental tiger rescues in Thailand. Objective: Research and resource development Achievement: During this financial year, our staff attended the South East Asian Zoo Association (SEAZA) Annual conference, various webinars from Wild Welfare and EAZA 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 January to May 2022, we visited and assessed 30 public facilities holding captive tigers in Thailand, doing so from a tourist’s point of view. For this assessment we continued to use the basic animal welfare assessment form created and implemented in 2019. This welfare assessment has seen some small updates in scoring system since this initial iteration. We also hosted our first intern from March to June 2022. The role of the intern was to participate in the welfare assessments and to perform their own tiger behaviour research on enrichment and personality. This took place at Tiger Kingdom and was organised and aided by For Tigers. Objective: Partnership networks Achievement: Talks are continuing with the tiger venue in Thailand, and new venues have been added to the list of potential venues to have further talks regarding a change in management practices for the tigers. For Tigers has pushed forward with talks and collaboration opportunities with other NGO’s namely, Wild Welfare for research and dissemination of

materials and workshops, and Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand, to further aid in the rescue of confiscated tigers in Thailand.

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.

The process to translate the website into Thai began. A small portion of the website is now available in Thai in an effort to reach out and engage a wider audience.

In addition, we held our fifth fundraising event, which was key to communicating many of the welfare issues prevalent across Thailand’s tiger facilities. This year we were able to return to our original in-person format and include the tiger walk with members of all ages. 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 2023

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 as well as complete the three enclosures currently in progress.
● We plan to create further, and continuous updated educational material to aid tourists in choosing welfare-friendly captive tiger venues
● We aim to create 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 continue to 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
