Who will save the wild tiger?
This paper argues that tiger conservation is, ultimately, an issue of incentives. Command-and-control prescriptions for saving the tiger have largely failed because the people who actually determine the destiny of wild tigers have few incentives to save them. If environmentalists are to succeed in saving the wild tiger from extinction, they must understand the incentives facing the people who control the tiger's fate and change those incentives into ones that promote tiger conservation.
