- Land Rover's involvement with Save Wild Tigers forms part of its long-established global conservation partnership with the Born Free Foundation wildlife charity who was one of the beneficiaries of the night
- Land Rover supports Save Wild Tigers' initiative to raise funds and build public awareness about the threats to the world's tiger population
- Tiger Tracks - a three-week programme of activities and promotions at St Pancras International rail terminal - climaxed with a celebrity gala dinner and charity auction, with a year's use of a Range Rover Evoque among the star lots to be won.
Land Rover is pleased to support the world's largest event to
highlight the plight of the tiger. Tiger Tracks was a three-week
programme of activities and promotions at St Pancras International
rail terminus in London, organised by Save Wild Tigers to raise
funds for vital conservation work and build public awareness about
the threats that could render the tiger extinct in just 10
years.
The event concluded on 21 March with a high-profile charity
reception and dinner at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. It was
supported by leading figures including Virginia McKenna, Joanna
Lumley, Jimmy Choo and Louise Redknapp. The evening included a
charity auction to help bring in valuable funds for the Save Wild
Tigers' project and the work of the Born Free Foundation and
Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA), with Land Rover donating
a year's use of a new Range Rover Evoque. The event raised the
incredible amount of £75,000.
Mark Cameron, Jaguar Land Rover Brand Experience Director said:
"We at Land Rover are very happy to be able to help in raising
funds for this extremely worthwhile cause, a world without Wild
Tigers is unthinkable and therefore we need to do everything
possible to avoid such an outcome."
Save Wild Tigers is a global initiative established by Simon
Clinton with the international wildlife charity Born Free
Foundation, and the Environmental Investigation Agency. Its
principal aims are to end the illegal tiger trade and to protect
the animals in their natural habitat.
Land Rover's involvement comes through its conservation
partnership with the Born Free Foundation. Since 2002, it has
supported the foundation through project funding, providing
vehicles for its work around the world and by publicising its
activities through promotions in its dealerships, staff incentives
and merchandising. The Born Free Foundation's field projects for
Save Wild Tigers engage communities to help secure vital tiger
habitat and keep wildlife in the wild.
