But thinking again, with a few more minutes, I thought, this is what it's all about. My blog. My 'activism'. My preaching to my 3 year old. My compost. The works. It's about my attempts at saving the environment. And currently "BIODIVERSITY" surrounding my whole life, I just got whacked in the head and in the twinkling of lights and blurriness, I saw a light with Sir David Attenborough's voice (a.k.a. "The Voice of God") And he said "DO IT"
There's a whole lot of good work going on out there in the effort to help keep tigers alive. MYCAT for one is leading a coalition in Malaysia in the race against time towards not only keeping the tigers alive, but to revive the population and they're starting with just a modest figure of 1000 from current estimates of less than 600. This is not very much at all considering just about 50 years ago, Malaysia had approximately 3000 in the wild.
From 3000 to less than 600 in half a century. That was the same time we proliferated as Malaysia.
It's embarrassing especially since Malaysia uses on its Federal Crest two tigers.
If Malaysia doesn't buck up and do whatever it can towards conservation of tigers in the wild,we better be prepared to either remove the tigers from the Crest, or consider replacing it with the images of a couple of battered/chopped up/emaciated caged up tigers.
