In celebration of International Tiger Day, I just want to remind everyone how important it is that tigers live on to future generations. Tigers deserve a place of honor in the wilderness they've called home for generations, not destined to be remembered only in movies like the Jungle Book.
Presently, Tigers’ futures lay in the balance, but with the help of the Save the Tiger Fund and Panthera, their futures are getting brighter. We need to remember that diversity of prey and safe habitat, while extremely important, are not the only factors affecting tigers today. Trophy hunting took a large portion out of tiger populations as well as the illegal wildlife trade. Hunting tigers for sport turns the death of a majestic creature into a prize to be won.
We need people who care about tigers to fight for what’s right. Anyone can become an animal ambassador; all it takes is the desire to see change and to educate those around you any chance you get.
We cannot let this gorgeous big cat disappear; demand results.
