Angie interviews wildlife conservationist Leif Cocks, founder of the International Tiger Project, about saving wild tigers through large-scale rainforest protection in Indonesia and Laos. They discuss why tiger conservation matters for biodiversity and climate resilience, the extinction of Bali and Javan tigers, and the urgent reality that fewer than 300 Sumatran tigers remain in fragmented habitats. Leif explains the major threats facing tigers (including habitat loss, poaching, prey decline, and human conflict) and how ranger teams, camera traps, rescue programs, and local community support are helping protect remaining populations. He also shares how listeners can help through rainforest sponsorships, recurring donations, and ethical eco-tourism initiatives.
