EAZA Tiger Campaign 2002/4
Campaign efforts in Münster Zoo
Münster Zoo officially started the EAZA Tiger Campaign in December 2002; the main goal being financial support for wild tiger conservation projects in Asia. We decided to focus primarily on raising funds instead of conducting an elaborate awareness campaign because we are still actively running the EAZA Bushmeat Campaign in Münster. We managed to raise and provide nearly €5,000 for the recommended tiger conservation projects by the end of February 2003.
With the recent receipt of the print material (translated information leaflet and poster provided by the regional representatives) we are now ready to start the awareness component for the visitors of the zoo on a larger scale. With the completion of some reconstruction work in our tiger enclosure we have planned a ‘Tiger Day' in spring, including some activities of local conservation organisations.
