Tiger Summit: An International Forum to Rescue Tigers from the Brink
of Extinction
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is convening the International
Tiger Conservation Forum (Tiger Summit), a historic and unprecedented
event to bring tigers back from the brink of extinction, on November
21-24 in St. Petersburg. Heads of governments from many tiger range
countries in Asia, other world leaders and representatives of the
conservation community are expected to attend.
On the occasion of this "Year of the Tiger" and "Year of the
Biodiversity," there is widespread consensus that continuation of the
current level of threats to tigers will certainly lead to their
extinction in the very near future. Saving tigers for the generations to
come will take no less than a high level of commitment from the range
countries and international community assembling in St. Petersburg.
