EPISODE QUOTES

“Poaching for illegal wildlife trade is probably the biggest threat to tigers. So it’s very important that we monitor whether we’ve got those safety protection mechanisms in place.” (03:46)

“Normally, if tigers go extinct or start to decrease in an area, it’s an indication to us of what’s happening further down the food chain at the bottom. If something in the food chain is not right, then normally the top predator is the one that’s first effected.” (10:09)

“We need to act quickly, otherwise there’s going to be far more species and far more ecosystem damage to come.” (10:31)

“Often the government doesn’t have the same kind of monitoring intensity that we do for conservation and tiger conservation. So, it’s been able to make it easier for us to communicate what’s going on in their own landscape in some cases.” (15:50)

“I think it [the business intelligence dashboard] certainly plays a role in this big challenge of trying to double the number of tigers in the wild. It gives us evidence to support where we’re prioritizing.” (18:20)
