Pinterest on #GlobalTigerDay

#GlobalTigerDay is a day to celebrate this magnificent species and highlight the work that’s still needed to save tigers from extinction. Every part of the tiger, from whisker to tail, as well as live tiger cubs are traded illegally – which is why we have a search advisory in place against the trade of all of tigers and tiger products from Pinterest. Together we can protect wild tigers and stop wildlife trafficking online. For more information, visit www.endwildlifetraffickingonline.org.
