Big B and John Join "Save Our Tigers" Campaign

Today, Amitabh Bachan and hunk John Abraham were in Madhya Pradesh to be a part of a telethon to create awareness about this cause and raise money so that reserves such as Pench National Park could take care of the tigers in a better way.

John also stripped for PETA ad to appeal against animal abuse. John is often known for his social work over the years.

Though this is a great cause and Big B also wrote on his blog last night, that it is important for him to participate in this telethon for this special cause as tigers need to be saved from poaching and extinction.

However, I also heard a negative news about Big B, that he is silently responsible for delaying the release of a small budgeted movie "Chittagong" so that his son's movie "Khelen Hum Jee Jan Se" does better on the box office. The maker of Chittagong, said that both the movies dealt with the same subject but his movie was low budget film unlike the Abhishek starrer movie. And the man criticized Big B on a social website by saying "Somebody is desperately trying to save his son's career. It is sad that talent is no more appreciated." Well, even if it is true, Khelen Hum Jee Jan Se is a flop. It has just recovered 5 crores while as of now the movie is making a loss of a good 30 crore rupees.

Save The Tigers

Now this is extremely sad, this year hardly 3200 tigers are left in the wild. 2010 was the Year of The Tiger. The next Year of The Tiger will be in 2022 and experts fear there will be no more tigers left here. That is a big big loss for us.


Documentaries are showing that the natural rehab for tigers is being destroyed by making plantations, business, factories and much more...whether legal or illegal is another matter. The important thing is that the tigers are losing their home.


The catch is, that tigers can be conserved and protected, if they are given space, prey and proper safe environment. Sometime in the coming months, the 13 Heads of Government from countries that still have wild tigers will come together in St. Petersburg, Russia, for an historic meeting: The Tiger Summit. A chance for them to act and double the number of wild tigers by 2022, the next Year of the Tiger!


In pledging your support for tigers, we hope to use that weight of public opinion to persuade these Leaders to:

• Agree on a  programme of work to double the number of tigers in the wild
• Create a  sustainable financing mechanism for key components of this programme.
• Create a new intergovernmental platform for overseeing and monitoring its implementation.

Save the Tigers - Don't miss this chance

Endangered Tigers Need Your Help

In Sumatra, Indonesia, illegal logging is threatening the habitat of the last remaining Sumatran tigers. This logging is causing problems for both animals and humans, and must be stopped immediately.

Target: Didy Wurjanto, head of Balai Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam (Nature Conservancy Agency

Sponsored by: Care2

In less than a month, six people were killed from tiger attacks in Sumatra, Indonesia. And three tigers were killed by civilians in this same area. This is a clear example of the deadly consequences of interfering in the habitat of wild animals.

Illegal loggers are encroaching on tiger habitat, and it is creating a dire situation for these endangered creatures. Palm oil and pulpwood plantations are clearing millions of hectares of valuable forests. Nearly 50 percent of forests have been lost in Sumatra in the past 22 years.

Fewer than 400 Sumatran tigers remain in the wild, and we must do everything we can to protect these animals and the forests they call home. They're already under attack from global warming.

Please tell the head of the official nature conservancy agency in the area to do everything possible to stop illegal logging and protect tiger populations.
