rDionysus Donation Drive for Pantheralia 2023!

Pantheralia, the festival of wild cats, is approaching again this year, and I'd like to repeat our donation drive for wild cats! This will be our third annual Pantheralia Fundraiser!

Dionysus is often seen with various flavors of these animals - lions, tigers, leopards, and other flavors of wild kitties. Unfortunately today many of these animals today face existential threats to their species, especially tigers. Tigers have seen three of their nine subspecies go extinct.

Last year we raised $196 for Panthera, which is more than double what we raised for the WWF in 2021 ($76.50). Since our numbers at r/Dionysus have doubled, is it possible we can raise $392 or more? Let's find out!

Last year we were also blessed with more good news - estimations of tigers in the wild have improved in accuracy, and that improvement in accuracy has resulted in there being 40% more tigers in the wild than previously anticipated. The estimate, as of last year, is 3,726 to 5,578 tigers in the wild. Let's do what we can to see those numbers grow.

Let's make sure the Dionysians of tomorrow live in a world that still has his favorite animals in it!
