A century ago there were an estimated 100,000 tigers across Asia. Since then, numbers have collapsed by 96% to around 4,000.
Born Free has created a short unit of work designed for Key Stage 2 on tigers, including their characteristics, habitats and the threats that they face. Each lesson is planned to take an hour, although there are plenty of opportunities to shorten or lengthen activities. This topic has many cross-curricular links, with strong links to the Science, English, Geography, SMSC and Citizenship curriculums.
