Ce transfert, encadré et coordonné par le programme de conservation ex-situ de l'EAZA (EEP) des tigres de Sumatra (Panthera tigris sumatrae), a pour objectif premier la conservation de cette sous-espèce de tigre endémique de l'île indonésienne de Sumatra. Le tigre de Sumatra est le plus petit des tigres et aussi l'un des plus menacés avec moins de 400 individus à l'état sauvage, car victime de la destruction de leur habitat et du braconnage. L'espèce est classée "en danger critique d'extinction" sur la liste rouge des espèces menacées de l'UICN."
