Sarah supporting tigers across the globe with Alistair Cameron

Sarah, a big cat-lover, has tabled a question about what the EU is doing to help tiger conservation in India and other countries after meeting Alistair Cameron of the Environmental Investigation Agency on his visit to Brussels. The question, which is for oral answer by the Portuguese presidency of the Council of Ministers in the European Parliament session in Strasbourg in November reads:

"What has the EU done, and what further measures are under consideration in order to encourage and assist India and other relevant countries in the conservation of their tiger populations in a way that involves local people and gives them a stake in the protection of those animal populations?"
