World Wildlife Fund and Leonardo DiCaprio

World Wildlife Fund and Leonardo have teamed up to Save the Tigers Now! I love tigers and so was thrilled to see the campaign to raise money to save them. My bamboo clothing company has bamboo t-shirts with tigers on them for sale.

Wild Animals and E-Commerce

Not only do I own a great e-commerce business that sells bamboo clothing, specifically bamboo t-shirts that feature endangered animals, but I just signed on as the VP/CFO of My Local Home Show. This incredible site will go live February 15 in Tucson. We showcase local businesses that provide products and services for home and gardens. In other words, it's like going to your local home and garden show online, browsing booths and even getting your questions answered via chat or phone. The day has arrived when you can narrow down your search for home and garden products and then go see them. Or -- order over the internet! It's a new day for E-Commerce.

Jaguar to be Protected

Good News! The U.S. government announced this weekt that it will "protect the endangered jaguar's prime habitat and develop a jaguar recovery plan.
But with no known jaguars living today in the United States, it's unclear how the federal government will use habitat protection and recovery planning to bring the elusive cat back. The last known jaguar in this country, 15-year-old Macho B, was euthanized last March after being captured and recaptured in rugged desert country southwest of Tucson. As they announced the separate but closely related decisions, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials said they had no plans to try to reintroduce the jaguar into the United States, in the footsteps of the agency's decade-old efforts to reintroduce the endangered Mexican wolf. The agency's Sherry Barrett would not completely rule out reintroduction but said the idea is not a possibility at all unless scientific research during the recovery planning effort shows it's an essential step in protecting the entire jaguar species living south into South America. Barrett is the service's assistant Arizona field supervisor."
