Wat Pa Luangta Maha Bua Yannasampanno Foundation ( Tiger Temple )

requires… Joint-Sponsor for research fund In the project regarding tigers or wild animals living in this monastery

The Foundation has announced to give the research funds on the project regarding tigers or wild animals living in the Monastery with reason that since in 1999 at Wat Pa Luangta Bua Yannasampanno Forest Monastery ( Tiger Temple ) , Villagers had taken injured tigers and the orphans to the monastery for tending. Out of compassion, Pra Acharn Phusit (Chan) Kantitharo (The Abbot) has taken care of them until they grow up and have their own cubs. As a result, there is project on "the New-Home for Tigers" in 2004, so that the tigers living in this monastery can live freely. In addition, it will serve as a place to rehabilitate new cubs for returning back to the forest.

Thus, for the accomplishment of this project and for academic benefit to the study of tigers and wild animals, this year the Foundation gives research funds, emphasizing on the study as follows:

• To conduct research on the species of tigers or wild animals living in this monastery
• To conduct research in preparation for freeing tigers back to the forest
• To conduct research for being the model of rescue and conservation of tigers or wild animals.

The Foundation , hereby, makes announcement to seek sponsor in the research fund project jointly with the foundation, by providing fund to the research team selected by the foundation. Interested person, please contact
