Romero readily admits that his and his family's role as the creators of the tiger foundation is largely as a medium for publicity to bring the tiger's plight to a wider public. The scientific credibility of the organization is provided by people such as the organization's chairman, Ron Tilson, recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on tigers. "We have some really good people out there," Romero said.
The fund-raising drive will run for two months. The National Geographic Channel will also be re-broadcasting some of its best tiger-related programs on Dec. 22 and Dec. 29.
