Press Release
Tiger Book Launched
donates 25% to tiger conservation
19th April 2010 for immediate release
Cardiff based multi award winning professional wildlife photographer, TV presenter and
conservationist Andy Rouse is proud to announce the publication of his latest self-published book.
Entitled “Tigers, a Celebration of Life” the book donates 25% of its profits to tiger conservation in
support of the International Year of the Tiger. Printed to the highest standards, the book is a visual
treat as well as being highly educational and providing a great window into the life of this elusive
cat. The initial launch of the book has already donated over £3500 to tiger conservation projects and
we hope to donate much more.
Andy Rouse says “This new book has been a labour of love and is the culmination of 8 years work. I
have self-published this book at my own expense simply because no publisher would allow me to
make such a significant donation from the profits. Tigers need our help. Their population is now
down to a few thousand and I cannot just sit back and watch these magnificent animals fade into the
night. The book contains my best tiger images to date (including several award winning images from the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year) and is written to educational and inspirational. It’s a personal journey through my life with tigers and I have tried to capture the feelings and emotions behind each image in the accompanying text.”
The book begins with sections on a tiger’s life and some personal experiences from Andy Rouse during his time working with wild tigers. For budding tiger photographers there is a section on how to get great photographs and for tiger tourists there is a section on where to see tigers and some tips to make the best of the experience. Finally there is a an extensive conservation section with two superb conservation essays from the Zoological Society of London’s tiger expert, Sarah Christie.
