The Year of the Tiger begins February 14, 2010. Unfortunately, the plight of wild tigers doesn’t call for much celebration. Experts estimate there are as few as 3,200 tigers left in the wild. The good news is that together we can secure a future for these magnificent big cats. Join WWF in their efforts to protect this species.
