By 2010, we lost 97% of the wild tigers left on earth, due largely to rampant poaching and habitat loss. The tiger is an absolutely mesmerizing animal. I myself have been infatuated with tigers since the moment I first laid my eyes on one in the wild. Those stunning facial patterns of black, orange, and white almost seemed to hypnotize me with their beauty. To this day, the sound of a tiger roaring in the jungle sends chills down my spine; It is the sound of nature's raw power, engulfing your senses and being. One of the most magical feelings in the jungle is to know a tiger is nearby. The whole area is engulfed with sound as the cat moves closer; Langur monkeys, sambar deer, chital and even the peafowl let out a cacophony of warning calls, letting each other know that a cat is coming. It is not possible to witness moments like this and not feel the power of the tiger, or care deeply about their future. In recent years, I have been incredibly fortunate to spend almost 100 days in the jungles of India and Nepal looking for tigers and capturing their stories.」6月12日 16時47分
