This week world leaders are gathered for a special conference to\u00a0 protect and save the endangered wild tiger population ~ An article to share from\u00a0 Earth Times November 2010 ~ Blessings ~<\/p>\n

The world’s tigers are in danger of extinction by 2022, warned world leaders as they gathered in St Petersburg Sunday for a special conference on the animal with hopes of hammering out a rescue package for the endangered predator.<\/p>\n

Kicking off the four-day conference, the animal protection group World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) warned that the planet’s last free- roaming tigers faced extinction by the year 2022.<\/p>\n

\u00a0WWF general director James Leape said that only around 3,200 tigers are still living wild in 13 countries.<\/p>\n

Attendees\u00a0hope to agree a plan to almost double the animal’s global population to 6,000 by 2020. To do so, they will have to find some way to alleviate the problems of poaching and smuggling.<\/p>\n

\u00a0By WWF accounts, the\u00a0meeting is the first one in which government leaders will be debating the fate of a single animal species.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is needed is to persuade those people who inhabit regions together with tigers to join the cause of protecting the animals.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The conference is due to discuss proposals for protecting the world’s largest predatory cats, with the aim of doubling the tigers’ worldwide numbers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
