Vlastuin has made the most of his off-season so far, travelling with his premiership teammates to Thailand and Bali.

The defender’s latest adventure will take him to India with teammate Toby Nankervis to help raise awareness for Tiger conservation as part of the club’s partnership with the WWF.

“I got lucky enough to get the call up to India with a partnership with WWF we are going over there … going through a few a couple of reserves and looking for Tigers and seeing what they do to save them,” Vlastuin said before flying out to India on Friday.

“Me and Jack Graham went to Sumatra last year and learnt about what they are trying to do. India is kind of a success story, they have been really successful in boosting Tiger numbers.

“In Sumatra we couldn’t see more than 10 or 15 metres but we had a lot of locals reassuring us that we would probably have to walk for about five days before we saw any.

“We were in a group of 15 as well so they said seeing a Tiger was going to be very unlikely.

“In India we are in the cars and there is a lot more open spaces and a lot more Tigers, so hopefully we get lucky.”

Every year on July 29, Global Tiger Day is celebrated to raise awareness for tiger conservation.

The Richmond Football Club are proud of the continuing work we do through our partnership with WWF-Australia to help save wild tigers.

With WWF-Australia as our official conservation partner, we are committed to tiger conservation and helping to stop these magnificent creatures from becoming extinct.   

Since the Richmond Football Club was founded in 1885, 95% of the world’s wild tiger population has disappeared. There are currently less than 4,000 tigers left in the wild due to the impacts of poaching, habitat loss and the illegal wildlife trade.

The Club and WWF-Australia came together in 2018 and have seen player ambassadors Nick Vlastuin, Jack Graham and Toby Nankervis travel to both Sumatra and India, to learn about the challenges facing wild tigers and the work WWF are doing in these landscapes to increase numbers.

Help Richmond save wild tigers this Global Tiger Day

This Global Tiger Day, Richmond Football Club is calling on its fans to rally together to help save wild tigers from extinction by purchasing a Tiger Conservation Membership.

The recently launched membership offering is helping wild tigers flourish in their natural habitat, namely a critical tiger landscape in Malaysia that sees poachers responsible for a 50% reduction in wild tiger population.

Funds from the membership directly employ indigenous community members in Malaysia who work with WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) to patrol the Royal Belum State Park, disrupting poachers' activity, destroying tiger snares, and monitoring the area for tigers.

Richmond is halfway to its target of 660 Tiger Conservation Memberships. Reaching 660 memberships would provide funding for a Tiger Patrol Unit (TPU) for a full 12 months.

Richmond's Tiger Conservation Memberships include a Tiger plush toy, access to a Richmond home game, and access to a members exclusive web page with competitions, updates from the Patrol Unit, and Tiger facts.

By signing up for a membership in July or August, members will be in the running to be part of the official 2023 AFL RFC team photo – a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
