Stymied in it’s war on global warming in the United States, the administration is taking its fight overseas and into Bangladesh jungles to help the Bengal tiger survive the effects of climate change.
While the most numerous of all tigers, there are only about 2,500 left in the wild, 440 in Bangladesh where the U.S. Agency for International Development is shopping around a four-year $10.8 million to $12 million grant to help establish the “Bengal Tiger Conservation Activity.”
According to the grant explanation, the goal is to improve the habitats and environments of the black striped cats. The program’s “approach will be to protect and improve key tiger habitats,” said the grant synopsis.
