WWF-Korea Presentation |
|---|
|
Besides serving community with promoting environmental issues, I have founded an environmental awareness club at my school as well. The main focus of school club is sharing pressing issues with fellow students and doing awareness campaigns in school community.
Part of an awareness campaign, our school club invited WWF-Korea's CEO to tell us what is going on in Korea environment-wise. During the assembly, when 100 students and teachers were gathered together, WWF-CEO shared many interesting factors. One of the most interesting factor was related to 'Tiger' conservation. We, so far, have called Korean Tiger as Siberian Tiger, and, including myself, we believe that is correct. However, from the presentation, we learn that the correct name for Korean Tiger is 'Amour Tiger', name originated from forests in Russia. Another interesting factor is that 'Pine trees' are playing an important role for the livelihood of tigers. Where tigers are still spotted in Russia and China, pine trees are their major living area. From the presentation, I felt that many factors I learned before were incorrect or needed to be updated. Nowadays, we have lots of information flow on the net, and if you take an interest in any animal conservation, the information will be just one click away.

I love your initiative on setting up environmental awareness club. Such is needed in many of our schools to further promote sustainable practices.

Glad to hear that you have learned a lot about Amour Tiger in Korea, Alberta! Since Korea has a lot of pine trees in the mountains, I guess that's the reason why there were a lot of tigers in the past. We need to keep keen attention so that they would not be extinct. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

Good to hear you learned new things! Thank you for linking the video as well. I hope more universities and schools have more of these free lectures(just like TED) on campus so that students can easily connect to the issues we face whether that be social or environmental issues. cheers!

Thank you very much for your all kinds remarks. Yes, the event was very informative and successful. WWF International has many good will ambassadors, consisting of celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Jack Black etc. That plays great effects on students as well. Students get more interested in the organization and its work. Learning the importance of promotion & marketing, too. :)

This was definitely an informative article. I now know that the Korean tiger is not the Siberian tiger.
