Welcome

Welcome!

We have started this blog to promote awareness about tigers and their conservation. We, Devanshu Sood and Anusha Shankar, are WWF’s Youth Tiger Ambassadors, and have been chosen to attend the Youth Tiger Summit in Vladivostok, Russia, from the 18th to the 25th of November, 2010. Following our return from the Summit, we will be working with WWF to help protect the 3200 tigers in the world, especially the 1400 or so remaining in India in the wild (about half the world's wild tiger population).

About the Youth Tiger Summit:

There are 13 countries worldwide which still have tigers in the wild, although the numbers are very low. Without immediate strong action, the next few years will be catastrophic for wild tigers.
