In 2010 WWF launched a Tiger campaign in India and Nepal with a goal of doubling the number of wild tigers in that region by 2022. Today, in the new issue of WWF's magazine, I read that the numbers of wild tigers in this region has increased by 63% since 2009! How awesome is that?! It's so encouraging to see that the hard work of Global Tiger Recovery Program, the dedication of rangers, forest guards and army personnel, has spurred this growth. The rangers and guards protect the land, prey, and tigers in this region from poaching and therefore have helped to increase the birthrate of tigers in the area. With more hard work like this in other tiger regions, we may yet save the tiger in the wild so that our grandchildren can see them and say, my grandma/grandpa helped to save the wild tigers. Your donations to organizations like this help to fund big projects like this one so that we can be a part of saving these magnificent animals. Be a member, like me, and take pride in little moments like this one, knowing that, in some small way, you were part of the reason there are more tigers in Nepal. Go to www.worldwildlife.org to see how you can help. And check out the bottom of my blog page for more links to wildlife protection and information sites.
Have a grrrrreat day! :)
