Investing in Tiger Landscapes so that Nature and People can Thrive

For millennia, the tiger has symbolized strength, balance, and resilience. Today, science recognizes these apex predators as the ultimate indicators of ecosystem health. We know that landscapes that can support tigers are capable of supporting so much more. The Tiger Landscapes Investment Facility (TLIF) mobilizes public and private capital to conserve these landscapes, strengthening climate resilience and supporting livelihoods.

Why Tiger Landscapes Matter

Tiger landscapes are large blocks of ecologically connected areas of tiger habitat. Spanning forests, grasslands, wetlands, and mountain ranges, tiger landscapes support thousands of species and provide the following critical ecosystem services for millions of people:

TLIF is a blended finance platform accelerating investment into tiger landscape ecosystems by supporting local enterprises, communities, and conservation outcomes.

Why now?

The next decade will determine whether tiger landscapes recover or decline. Wild tiger numbers are improving in some countries but continue to decline in others. Threats such as habitat loss and poaching remain, while habitat destruction and climate change increase the risk of human-wildlife conflict. Official Development Assistance, while critical, remains volatile, restricting long-term conservation efforts.

Without long-term, sustainable solutions, many tiger landscapes risk reaching ecological tipping points where recovery becomes costly, uncertain, or even irreversible.
