“A dazzling piece of art”
Dato Professor Jimmy Choo

With only 3,500 tigers left in the wild, tigers could become extinct within 10 years. Deforestation, urbanization and the illegal trade of tiger parts all threaten the wild tiger.

Tiger Tracks is presented by Save Wild Tigers, a global conservation awareness and fund-raising initiative set up by Simon Clinton in partnership with two leading conservation charities, the Born Free Foundation and the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA). They have joined forces to end the illegal trade in tiger parts and protect tigers in the wild.  

The artwork, which took over two months to create, will be auctioned to raise critically important funds for targeted tiger conservation projects.
