Carol Amore has a mission (使命).“That is to find and help to save tigers.” Amore says.She found that the best way to do that was to learn more about the tigers’
lives and their habitat.So she traveled to India to spend three months filming in the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve,a protected place that is home to about 30 or 40 Bengal tigers.The movie she made about her experience is called Tigers:Tracking a Legend.
To help people to understand the plight (困境) of tigers,Amore has also helped to create an exhibition at the South Street Seaport,in New York City,called TIGERS.
Tigers in Trouble
In 1998,between 5,000 and 7,000 tigers wandered on the Earth.Today,the World Wildlife Fund estimates (估计) that the tiger population has hit an all-time low of 3,200.
In India,local forest guards and special guides,called mahavats,helped Amore with her work.Mahavats ride through the forest on the backs of Asian elephants as they track the tiger.They also serve to protect tigers from poachers,who hunt the animals illegally.Poachers kill tigers for their fur,organs and other body parts:Tiger bones are used as an ingredient in Chinese medicine.
Learning About Tigers
The tiger exhibition teaches visitors how to use smell,sight,hearing and touch to enter the world of the tiger.
