The Marcan Tiger Preserve is dedicated to the preservation and protection of the critically endangered Bengal tiger. Through meticulous breeding programs, superior hands-on care, and innovative public outreach projects,the organization seeks to educate and challenge the current generation so that future generations will develop the love and respect for these animals key to their long-term survival.

Just over a century ago, there were more than 100 thousand tigers roaming the forests of India and its adjacent lands. Since that time, habitat encroachment and a booming wildlife trade have driven this once fearless predator onto the brink of extinction. Three of the eight subspecies of tiger are gone forever and the remaining are critically endangered.

One of the main reasons is habitat encroachment. As India's population swells to well over a billion people, their civilization is spreading into the tiger's territory, driving down the number of prey, therefore driving down the number of tigers.

The most sinister threat to the tiger comes in the form of illegal wildlife trade, or poaching. It is estimated that the Bengal tiger will be completely extinct from the wild within the next 10 years. If the Bengal tiger is to survive, it will be up to our generation to put an end to the relentless poaching and find a way to coexist with these noble big cats.
