I cannot believe this wildlife photographer is walking 1000 miles with a giant tiger on his back to raise money for conservation projects
Paul Goldstein has already completed 500 miles, and now he’ll do 500 more – just to be the man who walked a 1000 miles for a frontline tiger conservation project The post I cannot believe this wildlife photographer is walking 1000 miles with a giant tiger on his back to raise money for conservation projects appeared first on Amateur Photographer .
Paul Goldstein, a wildlife photographer from the UK, is currently embarking on a grueling 1000-mile journey with a nine-foot tiger costume strung to his back. The ambitious mission, which began on July 20 and will conclude on September 12, aims to raise £50,000 for tiger conservation projects in India and Bhutan. Having already covered half the distance from Holyhead to Southend-on-Sea, Goldstein faces numerous challenges, including a chest infection, scorching temperatures, and the weight of the costume.
Despite the physical and mental strain, he remains determined, driven by the kindness of strangers and the potential impact of his efforts. Goldstein's first 500 miles saw him welcomed by a supportive crowd, including a musical performance by the Welwyn Garden City male voice choir. With only 500 miles remaining, the photographer continues to advocate for the plight of Bengal tigers, whose populations are threatened by habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.
