Underreported: Tiger Corridor from Bhutan to Malaysia

Thursday, February 07, 2008

Dr. Alan Rabinowitz of the Wildlife Conservation Society is helping to create a multi-national tiger conservation effort stretching from Bhutan to Malaysia. It’s a very complex undertaking, requiring the cooperation of businesses, NGOs, and governments – including the repressive military regime of Myanmar. Dr. Rabinowitz’s recent book is Life in the Valley of Death: The Fight to Save Tigers in a Land of Guns, Gold, and Greed.

Event: Dr. Alan Rabinowitz will be in conversation with Robert Krulwich
Thursday, Feb. 7 at 8:15 pm
92nd Street Y
Lexington Avenue at 92nd Street

    I am so happy that Dr. Rabinowitz spoke about his leukemia CLL. He is one of the CLL patients who is currently on watch and wait as I was until last November. CLL is a disease, a cancer, which is not curable as he says. They can only put you in remission. We need more people who have the disease to speak out especially to legislaters so that we can have the funding to find a cure. So few people realize that blood cancers may be the most prevalent cancer, but few people know about this until you are faced with the diagnosis.

    I wish the media would do a program about CLL and other blood cancers.
