I wish I had a $1 for every mistake I've made, I'd probably have enough money to own the internet right now. Of course, that would make me boss of the world. One of first things I'd decree is that everyone didn't spend quite so much time on the internet. However I am grateful for the web because from now on I'm going to be selling my tigers ... and these first ones are just $5. Check it out at www.wildtiger.org/jackkinross and you can see how you'll be helping.
I've taken thousands of animal and landscape shots. Sometimes for work, sometimes for play. I took "Eyes of Truth" nearly a decade ago. That day it seemed this young tigress was looking straight inside me, I had nowhere to hide, it was a moment of pure truth.
I know that whenever I've strayed from the truth things haven't gone so well. In conservation the truth hits you smack bang between the eyeballs on a regular basis. Those things make you look deep inside at your own truth.
Conservation isn't just about protecting animals like the tiger, that is a very narrow, cop out way of looking at things. Conservation is about everyday actions. It's about things like taking public transport instead of the car. It's about recycling rubbish. It's about our individual examination of personal consumption.
It's about the truth.
I hope you'll buy my $5 tiger ... and maybe a few more down the track. It's just an email away. You'll be helping us work in Nepal conservation. You'll be helping us with the truth.
Cheers Jack.
