Celebs Earn Stripes Helping Save Tigers

Actors Bo Derek, Harrison Ford, and Robert Duvall helped the World Bank kick off a tiger-preservation campaign yesterday in Washington, CNN reports, with efforts to save the endangered species' habitats atop the list. Derek, who works with the US State Department to fight trafficking, says the tiger initiative should stem "loss of habitat" and "demand for their body parts, mainly in Asia."

"I've always thought they might be the single most beautiful animal in the world," Duvall said. "People hunt them like crazy. They're wacko when it comes to shooting things." (More World Bank stories.)
