The 4th of August is the annual tiger day at Shepreth Wildlife park. The date was chosen as it was the birthday of a tigress named Amba who sadly is no longer with us.
It was a lovely day this year, and I really enjoyed speaking to people about tiger conservation and photography, whist generating funds for Wild Cats through sales of prints. Over the years, Shepreth Wildlife Park has generated nearly £50,000 for wild tiger conservation. For a relatively small zoo, this is astounding and shows the passion everyone in the park has for tigers. It should give us all hope.
I concluded the day with a talk on conservation and the tigers of Tadoba. Hopefully I succeeded in inspiring people to help conserve this iconic species…
Explaining why I support Wildcats Conservation Alliance
It was heartwarming to see so much interest and love for tigers from the next generation. The quality of questions was fantastic.
A young lad called Christoph made a serious of paintings to help awareness of tigers, way better than my current attempts of painting!
I can’t speak highly enough of Bex, she has done more for tigers than most and it has inspired me. Keep up the good work!
