[GemOJungle at aol.com]

Good afternoon. My name is Robin Sanders,  and I work at CBS News. I’m 
writing to tell you about an upcoming “60 MINUTES”  piece set to air this Sunday, 
Nov.19, that I thought you might be interested in.  It’s a fascinating look at 
why the world population of wild tigers is shrinking,  and we’re trying to get 
word out beforehand to as many people as possible with a  special interest in 
wildlife and conservation issue.  To that end, it would  be great if you 
would consider sending something out to your listserve and/or  posting something 
on your website. The piece will be broadcast on CBS  stations on at 7:00 ET/PT 
on Sunday, Nov. 19, with  further details and other information to be posted 
on our  website:

,  which you’re  welcome to link to from your own site (and I should  also 
point out that if you have any links you think might be useful to our  viewers 
should they want further information on this subject, please pass it  along to 
me for our web folk’s consideration).  
You’ll find a short write-up about the  piece below. And please don’t 
hesitate to contact me if you have any  questions. 
Many thanks,  
Sanders 
CBS News 60  Minutes 
“SHOOTING  TIGERS” 
At one time, 100,000+ tigers ranged wild in the world,  from Siberia to 
India. But not now. Today, the number  is more like 5,000 and a recent surprising 
discovery suggests that time is  running out for these tigers as well. 60 
MINUTES traveled to India  to visit the animals in their natural habitat and find 
out first hand what’s  driving wild tigers to extinction. Scott Pelley’s rare  
up-close-and-personal look at this magnificent beast can be seen on this week’
s 60 MINUTES (Sunday, Nov. 19, 7PM ET/PT on CBS).
