End Homelessness
Published June 13, 2008 @ 10:38AM PST
One-hundred years ago there were 100,000 tigers; now there are fewer than 4,000. Though tigers are protected by national and international laws, they are being poached to supply the international trade in tiger parts and products, and they are threatened by habitat destruction and loss of their prey.
Tigers are a critically endangered species and we have to do something now to try and save them. The Humane Society International's "Tiger Kids" gathered at the National Zoo on Monday in Washington, DC to try and do just that. Policymakers, ambassadors, and celebrities from around the world also joined together to launch the World Bank's Tiger Conservation Initiative--an initiative that hopes to reverse the decline of the world's wild tigers.
The "Tiger Kids" decorated posters that read "Save the Tiger", wrote essays about why tigers are important, wore tiger ear headbands, and made clay tigers outside of the tiger exhibit. They even had a chance to meet with Harrison Ford (actor) and Robert Zoellick (President of World Bank) to talk about why they love tigers.
