Tigers are a powerful cultural symbol, a wilderness icon, and a favorite of zoo visitors around the world. But in the past century, four of nine tiger subspecies have gone extinct in the wild and the remaining populations have experienced severe declines.
Dr. Tara Harris, Director of Conservation at the Minnesota Zoo and Coordinator of the Association of Zoos and Aquarium's
Tiger Species Survival Plan joins us on November 29th to tell the tale of the tiger. She will discuss what zoos are doing to save this endangered species, and what people of all ages can do to help!
