The Tiger summited

20th April 2012

We have just received these words from our team in Tanzania...

"The Siberian Tiger is a sub species, however yesterday some of that cold weathers tiger's DNA was in evidence on Kilimanjaro. In the worst conditions that anybody - Exodus or Tanzanian had ever experienced, the Tiger summited, cajoled and encouraged by six astonishingly brave Exodus trekkers."

Well done Paul and the team!

London Marathon next for Paul and the Tiger this weekend. If you're around please show your support for Paul Goldstein, who will be running the London Marathon on Sunday to raise money for the Bengal tiger and let us know if you spot him and we'll donate £1 per message and £2 per picture received.

 (The Story!)

One Summit - Two Marathons - One Event

Award-winning wildlife photographer, guide and Exodus stalwart, Paul Goldstein, is embarking on an extraordinary journey: Running the Brighton marathon, scaling Africa’s highest peak, Kilimanjaro (5895m), then 'running' the London marathon - all of which he will be doing in a 9ft tall tiger costume...in one week! Plus hosting a special charity event at the Royal Geographical Society.

The Cause

Bengal Tigers matter to Exodus and particularly to Exodus’ resident wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein, who has spent many hours watching and photographing them in the wild. Each year hundreds of wildlife enthusiasts travel to India hoping for a glimpse of this magnificent predator. Tigers are teetering on the edge of extinction in the wild, but are holding in Bandhavgarh at 59. Despite their desperately low numbers and concerted efforts to protect them, they are still suffering at the hands of man.
