#SHOWBIZ: Cara Delevingne on a mission to save Malayan tigers
KUALA LUMPUR: British actress and model Cara Delevingne, 33, is currently in Malaysia campaigning to save the critically endangered Malayan tiger.
Delevingne shared highlights of her visit on Instagram, showcasing her participation in various activities, including exploring forests and enjoying traditional dance performances.
She emphasised the urgency of the situation, stating, "With only an estimated 150 Malayan tigers remaining in Malaysia's forests, we must do everything possible to restore and conserve this dwindling population."
Delevingne further highlighted the threat posed by illegal hunting: "Poachers have become the apex predators in these ancient, 130-million-year-old forests. It's crucial that we raise widespread awareness about this issue and prevent the permanent disappearance of the Malayan tiger."
Expressing hope for the future, she added, "Wild tiger populations can recover if we allow them to thrive undisturbed."
Her visit has garnered enthusiastic responses from local netizens, who have lauded her dedication to this important cause.
One online commenter wrote, "Welcome to Malaysia! Thank you for your efforts in raising awareness to save the Malayan tiger."
Joining Delevingne in this campaign is fellow actress Jaime Winstone. Together, they visited Taman Negara National Park and traveled on the Eastern Oriental Express train.
