Custom Postage Stamps can Save the Tigers

Custom Postage Stamps can be used to save the tigers by increasing awareness and gaining support.

The population of tigers, especially here in India, is dropping day by day with only a few thousands left.

Tigers are one of the toughest predators in the world but are no match for humans when their territory is destroyed or they are killed for sport. Poaching and urbanization kill tigers every day and this personalized postage stamp is a small step in increasing the awareness of their plight.

Clearing the forest for farms and living by humans destroys the homes of tigers. Education is the only way it can be prevented - we need to educate people about the preservation of tiger species and their habitats.

Make more and more people aware about the plight of the tigers and the importance they have to their ecosystem. What a terrible world it would be without the majestic tiger.

Your friends, family, neighbors, anyone you know. Talk to them, keep talking to them...even send them mail with custom postage stamps like this one!

Do what you can to protect the tigers. A poster outside your home, submit an essay,start a local save the tiger campaign or a national level conservation effort. Every little or large action you take can make people stop and recognize the issue. Donations are great in the fight as well. There are many organizations that are already in the battlefield putting all their efforts to save the precious few - doing things like searching for poachers, educating local peoples and saving what tigers they can.

There are also groups that do things like planting trees and creating more water reservoirs within the forest to save the wilderness home of the tigers.

But there are things you can do to reduce the demand for the poaching and killing of tigers also.

Do not buy tiger parts as medicines or as decorations. They only show acceptance of the senseless killing and poaching of tigers each day. Stop buying and people will stop selling which means fewer tigers will be killed.

Try and buy products that come from sustainable lands that don't cut down tiger homes and forests. This ensures that your needs are fulfilled without destroying the habitat of another species.

Environmentalists fear that in another 20 years there will not be a single tiger left in the wild. We must prove them wrong and make future generations able to see the tiger and enjoy them for the majestic, wild and free creatures they are.

Let us pledge to do just that and I'm starting with custom postage stamps designed as a small step to Save the Tigers.
