 2010, the year of the Tiger

Tambako helps bring to our attention the plight of the Tiger and hopes to help bring awareness to their survival.

"Tiger Conservation is more than just saving the big cat...  It is about protecting habitat
and the life within...  And it is about alleviating poverty so that the children of today can
tomorrow become the guardians of the environment so important to the future..."

"One of its main aims is to raise money for the conservation of the Tiger through the sales of photographs taken by outstanding wildlife photographers. 'Tambako the Jaguar' had the honor to be part of this project.
The collected money is directly used in projects where competent people work in the regions where the Tiger is menaced. They also help and educate the population there, because this is the key to efficiently help to avoid the decimation of this big cat.
So please help us to help the Tiger!"
