Since the last edition of <strong>TigerTime</strong> <strong>News</strong> our grassroots conservation work has<br />
been continuing to protect tigers in India, Thailand and Russia. We have funded antipoaching<br />
teams, educational programmes, undercover investigations into wildlife<br />
crime, community outreach and alternative income projects ensuring that tigers<br />
and the people who share their landscapes have a sustainable, long-term future.<br />
On the world stage we’ve been supporting the team fighting for tigers at the global<br />
meeting of CITES (Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species) and<br />
will continue to lobby and push for change through our call to ban the trade in tiger<br />
parts from all sources.<br />
You can read updates on all of this work in this edition of <strong>TigerTime</strong> <strong>News</strong>.<br />
Raising awareness and engaging wider audiences in the fight to save the wild tiger is<br />
one of our key objectives and since March our social media reach has been rising at<br />
a fantastic rate. We’ve increased Facebook likes by a staggering 965%, an additional<br />
39,000 people have signed up to our call to ban the trade in tiger parts and another<br />
4,600 have followed the campaign on twitter.<br />
We’ve also been able to turn that support into something meaningful for tiger<br />
survival with our social media supporters helping us raise almost US$30,000 for<br />
tiger conservation through the ROAR Global Giving Campaign this autumn.<br />
It’s really exciting to see this growth but we will never stop striving for more. Time<br />
could be running out of the tiger in the wild and we are determined not to let wild<br />
populations decline - not on our watch and not with your help.<br />
In 2015 we’ll be pushing to engage the next generation of tiger lovers. Help us<br />
spread the word!<br />
Please keep supporting our work and thank you for everything you do for tigers.<br />
