Cycling for awareness of tigers

Staff Correspondent
Five bicyclists from United Kingdom and South Africa have started a three-day long cycling mission from the Italian embassy in Dhaka to the ITC Sonar Hotel in Kolkata in a bid to raise awareness about the Sundarbans tigers. Their journey is the climax of the 'Ride of the Tiger' campaign, a two-month effort to raise public awareness of the threatened future of tigers in the Sundarbans. The five riders are Massimo Franco, Chris Roy, Henry Churchill, Keith Mullan and Max Baldwin.
