•   Funding: The study (13) of the geographic distribution of tiger populations and the costs of protecting source sites was supported by a grant (GEF MSP grant TF093667) from the World Bank acting as implementing agency of the Global Environment Facility (GEF). While the scale of the challenge is enormous, we submit that the complexity of effective implementation is not: commitments should shift to focus on protecting tigers at spatially well-defined priority sites, supported by proven best practices of law enforcement, wildlife management, and scientific monitoring. If Russia is excluded from the analysis, 74% of the world's remaining tigers live in less than 4.5% of current tiger range. [...]protecting source sites offers the most pragmatic and efficient opportunity to conserve most of the world's remaining wild tigers.
