I just wanted to stop by to wish everyone a very happy International Tiger Day!
International Tiger Day was declared in 2010 at the St. Petersberg Tiger Summit. What can you do to celebrate, you ask? Well you could:
1) Watch a cool tiger documentary, like this one and this one!
2) Get informed on tiger conservation issues. There are an estimated 3,200 tigers remaining in the wild, but why? Go to a local book store or library and check out a book on tigers. I'd recommend "Tigers of the World" by Valmik Thapar or "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. Do a Google search on tigers...there is plenty of information out there, all you have to do is go looking! Spread awareness here on dA and elsewhere!
3) Plan a fundraiser at your local school or place of work to raise money!
4) Do some volunteer work at your local zoo or exotic animal rescue (be sure they're legitimate though). Ask the zoo what their tiger enrichment program is and if you can help bring in toys for them to play with. Watermelons make for a fun, messy toys for tigers. If a local conservation group that works with tigers is nearby, ask if you can come in and volunteer. Even a little bit of your time and skills help!
5) Post tiger related artwork or literature to your deviantArt account. Already have? Post a link in the comments and share it with others!
6) On Facebook? Visit FREELAND and grab some cool timeline covers featuring photography by yours truly! Be sure to follow as well!
7) Learn about the work myself and FREELAND are doing in Thailand to protect tigers!
8) Donate to your favourite tiger non-profit. There are many organizations out there doing great work. I'm biased so I have to recommend FREELAND!
9) Looking for some tiger photography to adorn your den or to give as a gift? Don't buy something mass produced. You can get any of your favourite tiger photos of mine in a print right here on dA and shipped directly to you. If it is not set up as a print, let me know and I can put it up for you!
10) Tell people about International Tiger Day in YOUR journal too! Spread the word!
Oxford
A quick update for those who are interested. I'm quite happy to say that I have accepted as a graduate student at the University of Oxford and will be working with WildCRU.
This will mean that I will be leaving Thailand, but I hope this will provide me with better opportunities to help tigers in the wild.
My Tiger Work in the News
Hello all,
I'm not very active on DA these days, mostly due to work. I'm happy to share news coverage below of the tiger project I've been leading. It's a positive story, which is rare in tiger conservation. I hope this will generate more support for tigers that we can use to build upon these positive developments.

Thankful / Twitter
I am so unbelievably happy and thankful for the people in my life and what I have. I'm the happiest I've been in a very long time.
Thank you to those watching me. I really appreciate your kind words and comments.
I have not been active here in quite some time. One major reason for this is that I lost my camera and haven't been able to afford a new one. I am also living in Thailand (and have been for five years) so my access to my previous zoo friends is not as easy. That being said, I've been very hard at work for tigers here in Thailand. We have had great results recently and I am looking forward to sharing them with you sometime in the ne
