Movie preview to help endangered tiger species of the world
If you're looking for ways to help stop the extinction of tigers make sure you don't miss the preview of Two Brothers today at 10am at Birch Carroll and Coyle Sunshine Plaza.
It's the story of two tiger cubs separated from their family in the jungle and brought up to be fighters and killers, and stars Guy Pearce as the adventurer who learns killing is not the way of the future.
All tickets are just $7 and the money will be donated directly to the Steve Irwin Conservation Foundation where all funds raised go directly to help the tiger of the world.
If you can't make the movie, the Australia Zoo tiger handlers have recommended some simple ways we can all help to reduce the environmental impact we are having:
Don't buy products made from or containing endangered species- traditional Chinese medicines, souvenirs and lucky charms. While there is a demand for these products, animals will continue to be slaughtered.
Don't buy products made from hardwood timber such as teak and mahogany. This hardwood comes from virgin forests that are not logged in a sustainable manner and are the homes to many of the world's endangered species. Even the brand of office paper you use in your computer at home may affect these forests.
Invest your money wisely. Many of today's financial institutes invest in unethical programs, both against the environment and human rights using your money to do so.
Buy fair trade products - make sure that the product you are buying is not supporting the abuse of people in developing countries. Poverty and environmental degradation often do hand in hand.
