Fight for the Tiger : One Man's Fight to Save the Wild Tiger from Extinction
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The remarkable story of one man's crusade to halt the international black market trade in tiger parts, a brutal practice that threatens the animal with extinction. The underground trade in wildlife is now the world's second largest criminal activity, and the tiger is the black market's most sought-after prey. The onslaught of poachers, who supply tiger parts to China and the Far East for use in archaic medicines, has destroyed 95 percent of the wild tiger population. Yet, there are no top secret agencies fighting organized crime against nature. This extremely dangerous investigative work is done by only a few individuals. Michael Day is one of them. Using the latest covert surveillance technology to penetrate gangster-dominated smuggling networks, Day has gathered a compelling dossier of evidence, alerting the world to the tiger's plight and forcing the governments of China and Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong to outlaw the sordid trade. Fight for the Tiger is a gripping adventure and a human tale of courage and determination. 448 pp 4 1/2 x 7 8 pp color & 16 b/w photos
