Focus:Endangered Species
Action Request:Various
Location:India

Poaching, shrinking forests and weak political will have nearly wiped the tiger, Panthera Tigris, India's national animal, out. With just about 1,400 tigers left, even by the most optimistic calculations, the tiger will probably survive only a few more years. And still India's government refuses to take adequate steps to save it. Here's a chance to give them a wake up call. Follow the link below and choose an animal and sign the petition, which will be sent to the Prime Minister's Office as a mark of protest against the Government's apathy.
