I agree that founding of actual protection plans and doing them would be beneficial.
But thise efforts don't make headlines. This might raise some awareness for the cause.
Tho I have no idea why you would want a tiger and not something more benign - like thise mini elephants.

Just cause a previous effort failed, doesn't mean this one will too.

Just remember that the scientists are very knowledgeable, and most of the time, failures are due to funding, not effort.
