Celebrating
Global Tiger Day today to raise awareness for the grim situation of Tigers in the wild.
Since I was a little boy I loved the amazing beauty of Tigers and for more than 10 years now I have been supporting
21st Century Tiger in London, one of the leading Tiger Conservation organizations in the world with my Tiger photos and by raising money to support their efforts in Asia. You can read all about the organization and their great work via the link above.
During the last 100 years the number of Tigers in the wild has declined from about 100.000 to only a mere 3.500. This fact alone is alarming and needs the attention of all of us. Why? Because it's actually not only about the Tigers themselves, it's the ecosystems they live in that have to be protected to save our own future and make sure that further generations will not suffer the consequences of our generation's excessive way of living. The Tiger is only the most iconic part of these ecosystems and a species so beautiful and important for these ecosystems that one simply has to agree to the cause of protecting them.
The best way to help is by donating to one of the truly reputable conservation organizations like
21st Century Tiger. Please rest assured, that I wouldn't be campaigning for them, if I wasn't 100% sure that they are doing a great job in protecting what we all love so much:
One of the most beautiful creatures on earth!
And to celebrate the beauty of the Tiger, here are some of my newest Tiger photos...and then some more...
