Discovery announces next phase for Project C.A.T. and premieres 'Tigerland' at Sundance Film Festival
Discovery and World Wildlife Fund-US (WWF-US) will partner on a matching donation campaign to help preserve Bikin National Park in Russia, it has been announced by both parties. This is the second fundraising phase of Project C.A.T., a campaign launched in 2016 where the organizations pledged to preserve nearly 1 million acres of land in India and Bhutan. After its initial success, the team was able to fund an additional 1 million acres, bringing the total of preserved land to nearly 2 million acres.
Now, Discovery and WWF-US have set their sights on Russia’s Bikin National Park, a habitat featured in the upcoming documentary 'Tigerland'. Discovery will match donations received through this campaign up to $250,000 through December 31, 2019.
Today at #Sundance @DiscoveryIncTV is premiering TIGERLAND, an in-depth exploration into tiger conservation. WWF's Pavel Fomenko will be featured in the film. Learn more about his incredible dedication to tigers: https://t.co/Nxxge5zd5K
