Joanna Lumley encourages all to help save the tigers
Joanna Lumley, Ricky Gervais, Susan Sarandon, Paula Abdul and Sir Roger Moore are just a few of the celebrity names that have added their support to the TigerTime campaign.
The new global campaign has been set up to save the last 3,200 wild tigers on earth.
Other members of the list include people from all across the world of enertainment in both the UK and USA. This includes, Sir Michael Parkinson, Mel C, Anjelica Houston, Gemma Atkinson, Simon King, Claire King, Abi Titmuss and Elizabeth Emanuel, to name a few.
Joanna says: "Animals share the earth with us: that is to say, they are equal partners in the right to live on this planet. In our anxiety to make the world a better place for ourselves, let us be very careful that we don't obliterate the needs of other species.
"If the tiger disappears from the wild because of our behavious we humans have lost all claims to be called civilised and compassionate. The greatest enemy is indifference. Please join TigerTime right now to help to save the lives and habitat of these magnificent creates. This is extremely urgent. The clock is ticking: real time is running out."
TigerTime was established by the renowned British wildlife artist and conservationist David Shepherd CBE on his 80th birthday in May of this year.
David says: "I am thrilled that Joanna Lumley and this magnificent group of stars and celebrities from all across the world of entertainment are supporting TigerTime. When I was born 80 years ago there were 100,000 wild tigers – now there are 3,200. Within a few years, their numbers will fall so low that they will pass the point of no return and literally die out. I know that our stars and celebrities will inspire people from all across the world to join us to stop this happening."
