Matt interviews Leif Cocks, the founder of the International Tiger Project, an organization that aims to ensure the survival of Sumatran tigers in their natural habitat by undertaking genuine, measurable and effective tiger conservation.
They discuss the challenges facing the 400 Sumatran tigers existing in the wild, a number that continues to shrink. Additionally, the Sumatran tiger’s rainforest is disappearing at a rapid rate.
Leif explains the harm that palm oil plantations, snare traps and more are causing to the tigers, why saving the rainforest is the single most cost-effective way to save the planet and tigers, and why immediate action is needed to protect this species.
