I think everybody knows about the plight of the tiger these days, but if you don't, I'll give you a quick refresher. The tiger is a top-of-the-food-chain animal living in a bottom-of-the-food-chain status. This once-populous creature, at a couple hundred thousand in the world, now is endangered, with only 3,200 surviving today. I know I have talked about the World Wildlife Fund before, but there's really not enough you can say about it. This wonderful organization is doing all it can to save the tiger, and every other endangered animal there is. With their "Symbolically Adopt" program and their partner website, SaveTigersNow.org, they are fighting the fight to save these beautiful creatures. Support them, and you are supporting the prolonging of the lives of all the tigers everywhere.

Care.
In their mission statement, the World Wildlife Fund states that their mission is " the conservation of nature. Using the best available scientific knowledge and advancing that knowledge where we can, we work to preserve the diversity and abundance of life on Earth and the health of ecological systems by protecting natural areas and wild populations of plants and animals, including endangered species; promoting sustainable approaches to the use of renewable natural resources; and promoting more efficient use of resources and energy and the maximum reduction of pollution.
We are committed to reversing the degradation of our planet's natural environment and to building a future in which human needs are met in harmony with nature. We recognize the critical relevance of human numbers, poverty and consumption patterns to meeting these goals."
