2012 Big Cats - National Geographic Wall Calendar Book

From lions in Kenya to snow leopards in the Himalaya, the big cats of the world need help. Lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards, jaguars, and other top felines are quickly disappearing, all victims of habitat loss and degradation as well as conflicts with humans. To address this critical situation, the National Geographic Society has launched the Big Cats Initiative, a long-term commitment to stop poaching, save habitats, and sound the call that big steps are needed to save big cats around the world. The Big Cat Initiative is a comprehensive program that supports on-the-ground conservation projects, education, economic incentive efforts and a global public-awareness campaign. National Geographic will collaborate with local and international organizations, corporations, local community groups, and individuals to work with saving big cats and ensuring the future of this initiative. This beautiful 12 month calendar features images of the big cats, supreme predators of stunning beauty. It is earth friendly, printed with soya-based inks on FSC certified paper. Spacious grids include international holidays and moon phases. A beautiful 32" x 20" world map is included with every National Geographic calendar.
