Andy Murray and Kevin Spacey team up to protect tigers
Il tennista britannico e l’attore statunitense hanno lanciato un appello per sostenere la campagna del Wwf per la tutela delle tigri.
A tennis champion, a famous actor and a charismatic yet threatened species. Tennis player Andy Murray and actor Kevin Spacey launched a video, shot at Wimbledon’s Centre Court, to support WWF’s ambitious campaign Tx2, aimed at doubling tiger numbers in the wild by 2022.
Tigers are endangered
Tiger populations dropped by 95 per cent over the last century due to relentless poaching, habitat loss and animals-humans conflicts. “It’s shocking to think that there are fewer than 4,000 tigers left in the wild,” Spacey said. “That’s less than a third of the number of seats at Centre Court. But whilst their situation is precarious, I have learnt from Andy that there is hope. We really can help tiger numbers recover. It’s a challenge that I’m proud to be part of drawing attention to.”

A glimmer of hope
Despite figures are appalling, for the first time in history tiger numbers are increasing with 700 individuals more than 2010. “We are at a turning point and we must seize this opportunity”.
#DoubleTigers
The campaign’s official hashtag is #DoubleTigers. People can also support the campaign by donating 5 pounds to WWF by texting “tiger” to 70123.

The inflation caused by extreme weather events is known as “climateflation”: prices for many food products are expected to rise sharply.
Tigers could go extinct within the next decade. But fortunately the conservation strategy aimed at doubling them by 2022, Tx2, is starting to work.
The toll is still provisional, but data collected across several European countries indicate that tens of thousands of people have died as a result of extreme heat.
Last February, Malaysia imposed a total ban on electronic waste imports. Yet toxic e-waste continues to arrive from the United States and other countries through illegal trafficking networks.
Although Earth Overshoot Day falls six days later than in 2025, this does not represent an improvement. The shift is the result of revised estimates of the oceans’ carbon absorption capacity, while humanity’s actual ecological footprint continues to grow.
Gigantic wildfires in France’s Gironde region and near Madrid, Spain, have devastated tens of thousands of hectares of vegetation.
Greece has launched a wildfire management system based on nanosatellites and artificial intelligence. A model that other countries are now looking to replicate.
According to analysts, the emergence of a “super” El Niño could trigger a global food price shock, adding to inflationary pressures already fuelled by the conflict with Iran.
