Our donations will help to support and empower those who are fighting the hardest to preserve the tigers. We owe it to our grandchildren to fix this problem.

The reason for this is that the warm air is lighter than the cold air, so it rises up fast and meets different winds moving different directions. Under the right conditions, this can cause a tornado.
