Education plays a key role in all the projects that we fund and a recent survey conducted among participants of our education programme in Thailand has helped reinforce our belief that children play a major role in the survival of endangered species like the tiger:
In the last year, the programme reached over 3,000 students, 123 teachers and 29 schools and with such great feedback the team is now working with teachers to develop local curricula for a 'Teachers for Forests' project.
Many of the children we connect with are the children of poachers and would-be poachers, so delivering a strong message on the value of wildlife and wild habitats is crucial. They in turn take the message home to their families and spread the word. And, when just $6 (£5) can buy materials for an endangered species workshop for 90 children the return on investment is not only huge but truly inspiring!
We want to reach more children and teachers. We want to spread the word that protecting precious wildlife and wild resources is fundamental to a long-term, sustainable future for Thailand's precious tigers and with your help we can do just that.
