Endangered tiger painted at Woburn Safari Park by Leah Wood

An endangered tiger at a safari park has been immortalised in a new portrait to mark International Tiger Day.

Minerva, an Amur tiger at Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire, was the subject of a painting by artist Leah Wood.

Visitors to the park will be able to see the painting and donate directly to the Wildcats Conservation Alliance when it is put on display at the park on 29 July.

The painter, who is also the daughter of Rolling Stones member Ronnie Wood, said: “If we can make people aware of the dangers wildlife is facing, we can inspire real action.”
