Hear Me Roar

Do you know that there are only 500 tigers left in Malaysia? Tigers are hunted illegally for their fur, meat and other parts, for medicinal values. You can do your part to save the tigers by joining theTx2 campaign, Double or Nothing: Save the Tiger, and you save much more! organised by World Wildlife Federation (WWF) Malaysia.

This campaign hopes to achieve having 1,000 tigers by 2020. In collaboration with FGS Dong Zen Temple, the Tx2 Campaign will be held in Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple, Jenjarum, Selangor, from 14 to 21 February 2010. There will be symbolic face painting event on 1,000 faces. You can also take part in the Tiger Trail on 21 February 2010, a fun and educational activity, in which participants will race from one check point to the other by fulfilling tasks or answering questions.

Last but not least, there will also be booths by WWF Malaysia, TRAFFIC Southeast Asia and Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers (MYCAT), where you will be able to adopt a pair of tigers and purchase limited Tx2 merchandises.
