New Year's Resolutions
Welcome to the Year of the Tiger!
The tiger is associated with good fortune, power,
and royalty. United Nations announced 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity.
We are all reminded to respect and protect all forms of life on earth. As part of nature's
rich diversity we have the power to safeguard or destroy plants and animals' habitats,
which eventually will lead to our own destruction if we do not act now. Therefore
what actions are you going to take to protect the astounding web of life that surrounds us?
