'I feel we need to think about the kind of world we want to leave behind by recognising our interdependence with other species on the planet; knowing well that the existence of one depends on the other or the disappearance of one kind of species affects the other adversely. Tomorrow's Tigers project is not only an attempt at raising awareness about this beautiful endangered species that faces the risk of extinction, but provides an opportunity for us to actively engage towards conservation, in restoring the integrity of our planet.'
