Tigers for Tigers joins the Smithsonian and Portugal. The Man to generate awareness for Sumatran tigers


The Sumatran tiger is highly endangered as there are only 400 remaining in the wild. The American rock band, Portugal. The Man, has partnered with the Smithsonian National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute to release an exclusive un-released vinyl record called the “Sumatran Tiger” to raise awareness about their endangerment. Together they have called upon 400 major influencers across the world, from conservationists to celebrities, to digitize the vinyl record and “breed” it through social media.

We are pleased to be working with the Smithsonian National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute as one of 400 influencers to partake in the Endangered Song Project. So let us take action, inspire change and generate awareness for the Sumatran tiger before it is too late.

On behalf of the National Tigers for Tigers Coalition, we would like to dedicate this effort to the late Dr. Ron Tilson for his work on Sumatran tigers. We would also sincerely like to thank the Smithsonian National Zoo and Marshall Jones for reaching out to us to participate in this fantastic project. Go tigers!
