Tiger
The Kings of Asia
A living masterpiece from the creative spirit, the Amur Tiger (Siberian Tiger) is the largest cat on Earth and the most endangered Tiger.
There are now less than 600 left in the wild - mostly living in far eastern Russia and Northern China.
tigers are seriously endangered
living proof
perfection
I consider this being to be obvious proof of divinity. They are perfect.
There is no way such magnificent beauty could have formed from random arrangement of unconscious matter.
Not a chance.
If you see nothing else to stand in awe of on Earth, as if the whole universe itself were not enough of a miracle, then this should be enough to prove God exists.
All of my artwork points toward the truth within each living, loving soul.
The beauty of creation is all around us, manifest here as a gift to us all.
Caspian, Javan and Bali tigers are now extinct
Endangered Kings
Imagine a world without Tigers.
If we don't make a real change soon, this may come to pass. Corporations are funding unsustainable agriculture and mining that destroys natural habitat at a scale which threatens millions of species all across the planet today.
Each day hundreds of animal species go extinct, and many more are facing extinction soon.
If we don't wake up collectively and choose to protect nature now, we face losing these incredible beings forever.

Bengal Tiger
There was great shame in India when it came to public attention that the national animal had almost been wiped out. Profit driven activity; particularly
mining, poaching, logging and deforestation for industrialised agriculture, was the cause.
Conservation efforts since the 1970s had failed to stop Tiger populations collapsing and humanity faced the prospect of losing one of Earths' most precious natural treasures. Conservationists worked hard to bring the issue to public attention and thanks to the obvious beauty of the Tiger there was public outcry worldwide.
This public attention created political pressure that lead to the most ambition conservation goal ever set for a single species. At the first 2010 Tiger Summit in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Leonardo DiCaprio, Vladimir Putin and representatives from every nation in which the Tiger still lives came together for the first time.
13 nations accepted that existing conservation efforts had failed, and committed to the most ambitious conservation goal ever set for a single species – doubling the number of wild tigers by 2022, the next Chinese Year of the Tiger.
We must protect the last remaining habitats
"We need to define conservation as a means to achieve development rather than considering it to be anti-growth. I strongly believe that tiger conservation or conservation of nature, is not a drag on development"
- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi

“THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL NEED FOR ALL LIFE ON EARTH IS A PLACE TO LIVE AND SOMETHING TO EAT. ITS TIME WE TAKE CARE OF THESE BASIC NEEDS"
"Conservation of tigers is not a choice,
it is an imperative"
- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi
our LAST chance
If the animals are to survive, and our children are to know Tigers in their future,
we need to protect and extend their habitat today.
We need to stand up to corrupt government together. Unsustainable logging, mining and agricultural activities must be stopped. We need to make ecocide illegal and bring every entity that destroys planet Earth for profit to account - until it changes.
We can still create a better world together - by saving nature and our shared home.
It is time to stand up for Earth.
Mining
Destructive and Unsustainable
Mining is in many ways worse than logging because of the unbelievable disturbance it causes for the animals living nearby.
A once peaceful forest becomes imprisoned by the noise of non stop drilling and digging, heavy machinery and explosives, alarms, whistles, billowing smoke and pollution all ensure the destruction of ecosystems, lives and habitat.
We must stop mining in animal habitat globally.
Tiger Conservation Success Story
After the 2010 Tiger summit achieved political commitments and funding to double Tiger numbers, Tiger populations rebounded in what is considered one of the best conservation stories in history.
Thanks to this effort we have actually seen a major increase in Tiger numbers over the past few years .
A 2006 census registered 1706 wild BengalTigers, and the 2010 version recorded 1411, by 2014 this had risen to 2,226, and by 2022 there were 3,682 Tigers counted across India.
This growth reveals an important and often overlooked fact about the Mathematics of population dynamics - population growth, like population collapse, is non linear in nature.
This is the clearest example we have that well supported conservation efforts work.
Indian Tigers have increased in number thanks to habitat protection from logging, agriculture and industry, strict anti poaching laws, the creation of national parks, effective ranger patrols and support from animal sanctuaries with both breeding and rehabilitation.

“Our religion is connected with wild animals, because wild animals have a consciousness and can feel love and compassion — therefore, we protect wild-animals,”
- Kunchok Jangtse, Tibetan Herder
save earth
The planet has never needed our help more than it does today, and thankfully there have never been more people dedicated to helping protect it.
While brave people are arrested just for trying to stop the destruction of nature others are out there planting trees and protecting animal habitat.
Some people still care about nature, but have not yet found the way to work together effectively. They are the ones who believe in a fair, open and shared society with nature at the centre. They believe in love and hope for a better world despite the ignorance of today.
We need to support those people.
It cannot be through thoughts alone.
