Conservation, Dedication & Dreams







~
HeWhoWalksWithTigers (Eric Ash) has a dream and he's worked diligently in order to achieve it.
What is his dream? His own words say it best.
"A long time ago, I saw a man on television who taught me about wildlife and conservation. This man's name was Steve Irwin, the Croc Hunter. As a result of his passion for wildlife, I've dedicated my life to conservation and have been struggling for years to promote saving the tiger in particular. I even stopped pursuing a career in photography to go to university (where I am now) so I could study environmental sciences and use that to get a career in tiger conservation. I live the khaki life every day.
Ever since I starting living for conservation (otherwise known as "khaki'ing it"), it's been a dream of mine to visit the place the Irwin's call home: the world famous Australia Zoo. Part of the reason has been to experience what the Irwin's have built, but also to be able to thank the Irwin's myself for helping to imbuing me with a passion for wanting to make a difference - they really have changed my life. It's been a dream I've accepted as being very unlikely to manifest due to the expenses associated with flying from North America...until now."

HeWhoWalksWithTigers has a chance to see his dream come true. The Australian Zoo is holding a contest about your own conversation work. The catch is, because it is in part on YouTube, it becomes a popularity contest.
