Projects: Environment
In addition to planting more than 2 millions trees, we help save precious wildlife. Here's a sample.
Catch a Tiger by the Tail . . . Go to Jail
Fund for the Tiger
A small group with big influence, Fund for the Tiger is fighting to keep the tiger from disappearing forever from the jungles of Nepal and India. Using an intricate network of informants, anti-poaching units, armed forest guards and the lovely elephant Sonakali, Fund for the Tiger has kept poaching losses at a minimum even as the political situation in Nepal has wreaked havoc on wildlife conservation.
AHF has partnered with Fund for the Tiger for the last eleven years, focusing on patrols in Royal Chitwan National Park and Royal Sukla Phanta Wildife Reserve. The tiger is critically endangered and this work is now more important than ever.

Water for Wildlife
International Wildlife Conservation Society
Sukla Phanta Wildlife Reserve in southwest Nepal is a precious haven for 386 species of birds, unique flora, elephant, rhino, antelopes, tiger, leopard and wild boar. Except during monsoon, the scarcity of water is a threat to all these wild creatures. For the last six years, AHF has partnered with Peter Byrne and the International Wildlife Conservation Society to rehabilitate and create ten water sources in this 200,000-acre reserve. Animals are now less restricted in their gathering places and have water year-round.
