Preity
Zinta
is
making
news
everywhere.
She
is
either
at
the
NASDAQ
or
becoming
brand
ambassador
to
a
city
and
now
she
is
all
out
fighting
for
the
survival
of
the
wild
cats.
Why
not?
After
all
isn't
Tiger
the
national
animal
of
India?
Therefore,
in
this
endeavour
she
has
joined
hands
with
Hollywood
superstar
Leonardo
DiCaprio,
and
supermodel
Naomi
Campbell.
The
globe
trotting
Preity
was
invited
along
with
Leo
and
Naomi
at
the
Global
Tigers
Initiative
organised
by
the
International
Tiger
Conservation
Forum
in
St
Petersburg,
Russia.
Hosted
by
Prime
Minister
Vladmir
Putin
the
forum
was
attended
by
officials
from
countries
that
are
home
to
tigers.
The
three
beautiful
people
drafted
plans
to
give
the
campaign
a
push
globally.
Naomi
and
Preity
had
met
before
on
Vikram
Chatwal's
fashion
show
and
hit
it
off
instantly.
The
two
discussed
the
alarming
rate
at
which
tiger
poaching
is
making
the
numbers
dwindle
and
have
taken
it
upon
themselves
to
tour
the
country
and
see
the
natural
reserves
and
habitats
themselves.
Preity
on
her
own
would
also
tour
different
countries
creating
awareness
about
the
issue.
In
fact
on
Twitter
as
well
she
posted
the
message
"India
has
over
a
billion
people
and
only
1409
tigers!
Think
about
it?"
Preity
was
invited
to
the
summit
to
speak
about
crime
and
injustice
against
tigers
and
was
asked
to
endorse
a
St.
Petersburg
Declaration
on
Tiger
Conservation
and
a
Global
Tiger
Recovery
Program.
Preity
posted
a
picture
of
her
own
at
the
forum
with
a
message,
"Just

dimpled
lady
does
make
us
proud
time
and
again.
