About SOS and Jean-Christophe Vié

Tomorrow, I will post Part 1 of a three-part interview with Jean-Christophe Vié, Deputy Director of IUCN’s Global Species Programme and Director of SOS - Save Our Species. Therefore, I thought it best to post some background about him, and the SOS program, ahead of time. Especially since his background is to extensive (and so impressive).
I hope you enjoy the interview with Jean-Christophe Vié. It is over 4,000 words long, and it brings to light some of the most cutting edge thinking on the issue of species facing extinction. And the SOS program has funded, and is funding, a number of projects to save tigers in the wild.
