World Bank, Harrison Ford & Bo Derek Team up to Save Tigers

The tiger is in deep trouble.

The worldwide population of this awesome predator has shrunk from 100,000 to below 4,000 over the past century. Unless the threats from poaching and habitat loss are significantly reduced, experts say, the tiger could easily slip into extinction.

Tiger conservation groups, scientists and celebrities, including Harrison Ford, are partnering with the Global Environment Facility and the World Bank Group to help save wild tigers.

I didn't actually see anything being done.

goddam asian entrepreneurs who INVENT false reasons to kill and dissect tigers (their teeth are good for this, their testicles are good for that, etc.) Traditional medicine, MY ASS! All these things were invented >1900 when Asian businessmen saw how naive people are.

Should this be given to the UN/WWF/env NGOs??

This is really sad, poor tigers...only 4000 left? From 100,000 in 1900 to a mere 4000 now, that's horrible. Nice too see that something is being done about it atleast. Goddamn poachers.
