Abstract
⺠Modeling of the tiger trade indicates enforcement cannot prevent extirpation of wild tigers. ⺠Conservation payments protect wild tigers, except for an inability to enforce contracts. ⺠Legal sales of captive-bred tigers can increase wild numbers despite higher demand this causes. ⺠A monopoly on legal sales protects wild tigers if a ban on non-farmed products is also enforced. ⺠Protection of habitat and tiger prey prevents further demise of wild tiger populations.
