Asia: Conservation International is working to protect Tiger habitat

Conservation International (CI) scientists are leading efforts to
identify conservation corridors that support both tigers and
tiger-friendly human development in countries including China,
Cambodia and Indonesia. We are focusing on the places that are the
last best hope for sustaining tigers in the long-term. CI’s
Conservation Stewards Program is helping local communities to profit
from saving tigers and the prey and forests they depend on for
survival.

The burning and clearing of forests accounts for more carbon
emissions than all the world’s cars, trucks, trains and planes
combined. By preserving and restoring the forests tigers call home, CI
and our partners help to stem global climate change while securing the
fresh water, fertile soils, abundant wildlife, food, medicine and
other benefits that healthy forests provide. These are just a few of
the ways CI is working to protect tigers, forests, and people around
the world. If we allow ourselves to lose this king of the jungle how
will we stop the loss of the rest our natural treasures and prevent
our planet from getting ever hotter? I do not wish to find out. That’s
why I work for tigers with Conservation International. Please make a
gift to support our work. Sincerely, Judy Mills –
