APA HANTU TU?
The Tiger Blogfest 2010 is a week in April where bloggers blog about the need to protect our tigers. It is an avenue for the blogging community to contribute towards protecting our national heritage. It is purely voluntary. It is not a competition, there are no prizes. It is simply bloggers expressing concern for our tigers aimed at raising awareness about the need to protect our remaining tigers. The target is to get 100 blogs to participate.
BILA?
19 – 23 April 2010 (Monday – Friday). This week was chosen because it coincides with the Earth Day on 22 April.
CAM MANA?
Post an entry in your blog about the tiger. Tell a story, write a poem, post a technical paper, draw cartoons, compose a song, relate your personal experience – anything as long as it conveys the message about the need to protect our tigers. There is no specific format or length for your story. You are encouraged to post as many entries as you like. It would be nice if everyone can post at least two entries, one on the 19th April and the other towards end of that week. (if you can’t, one entry is fine) You can plan and prepare ahead of time. Your first entry must be made on 19th April, preferably before 9.00 a.m.
APE LAGI?
For solidarity amongst all participating blogs, we ask you to carry these three articles on your blog throughout that week
a. the Tiger Blogfest 2010 banner (pic above)
b. the TX2 banner (visit www.tx2.my to download)
c. this message
“The tiger is our national animal. Our heritage. But today only less than 500 of them remain in the wild. As Malaysians, we need to stand up and protect our heritage. Speak to your children. Speak to your leaders. Everyone of us can make a difference. For further information, please visit MYCAT (www.malayantiger.net), WWF Malaysia (www.wwf.org.my) and Department of Wildlife & National Parks (www.wildlife.gov.my)”
