Although Fota Wildlife Park has no tigers,
we are generating interest in the
campaign by explaining how tiger
conservation can benefit other wildlife
and people. We apply several standards
to ensure that conservation projects
merit our support and the EAZA Tiger
Campaign easily meets these criteria. We
link our campaign to Asian wildlife
(lion-tailed macaque, gibbons, peafowl)
that we do keep.
Our campaign concentrates on
fundraising. Information
posters support two collection
boxes near our main entrance.
We explain how positive steps
can be made in conservation if
sufficient funds are available.
We are also holding a raffle for
two oil paintings of tigers by
wildlife artist Tammara Casey.
