Mission Possible: “Zoo Tycoon” Players Achieve First Community Challenge
>With the support of the “Zoo Tycoon” community, Microsoft is proud to announce that the first-ever “Zoo Tycoon” Community Challenge has been successfully achieved. More than 10,000 players voted, selecting to support the Sumatran Tiger Survival Program. In just a few weeks, players then took on the challenge and released 1,000 Sumatran Tigers into the wild in the game. As a direct result of these efforts, Microsoft donated $10,000 to the Sumatran Tiger Survival Program. Run by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA), the program aims to help reduce the number of Sumatran Tigers killed, displaced or caught in snares.
