Sea Change in Rome: UN support a critical step towards ending threat of ‘ghost gear’
Global governments have agreed on a hugely important step to eliminate ghost gear and the threat it poses to animals in our oceans: marking fishing gear.
This International Tiger Day (Friday 29 July), World Animal Protection is calling on travellers to be part of the solution by staying away from tiger tourism venues that allow interaction, such as selfies with tigers or tiger cub feeding.
Education is key. It’s not that tourists don’t care, the vast majority of travellers don’t want to contribute to cruel wildlife tourism but it’s not always easy to spot.
You can be part of the solution by sharing the video using the buttons below – it exposes the cruelties behind tiger selfies.
You can also play your part by pledging to be a ‘better selfie’ by committing to avoid wildlife entertainment venues.
By doing this you’ll be helping to protect wild animals, like tigers, from the cruelties of the tourism industry.
Together, we can help to end the suffering of wildlife.
