CARA Delevingne is in Malaysia—but this time, it’s not for a movie set or a fashion campaign. The British actress, model, and all-round Hollywood superstar has touched down for a very different kind of mission: to help save the critically endangered Malayan tiger.
Swapping her usual glam for a more grounded, jungle-ready look, Cara is spending a week here as part of a conservation campaign focused on protecting Malaysia’s iconic big cat. And yes, she’s documenting the journey on Instagram for her millions of followers to see.
"With just 150 wild Malayan tigers in Malaysia’s jungles we must do everything we can to restore and conserve the dwindling population.
"Poachers have now become the deadliest predators in these forests, forests which are 130 million years old. They still hold just enough wild tigers to make saving them possible,” the caption read on Sunday.
As part of her efforts to raise awareness and express hope for the future, Delevingne also shared glimpses of her visit to various locations.
These included excursions into the rainforest and attending traditional cultural performances.
"We must spread awareness and not let them be lost forever. Wild tigers can bounce back, if we let them,” she added.
Meanwhile, the comment section of her post was flooded with warm welcomes from Malaysian fans, who were excited about her visit and praised her commitment to the cause.
One user, @arther.li, commented "Welcome to Malaysia! Thank you for coming and raising awareness too.”
Another Instagram user, @benjamin_ahmadd1, wrote "Welcome to Malaysia, Cara.”
@Noor_azrina added "Thank you for creating awareness to save Malayan tigers. Welcome to Malaysia.”
@jolenekdt said "A post worth loving! Thank you.”
Many also chimed in with light-hearted, heartwarming comments, playfully reminding her about Malaysian breakfast traditions.
@nordinsson joked "Don’t wake up late tomorrow, we have breakfast early here!”
@atykahme.tan shared "Welcome to Malaysia. Enjoy your time here! If you’re hungry at night, you must try mamak food, roti canai and roti tisu are a must!”
Actress Jaime Winstone was also seen joining the campaign alongside Delevingne. Their journey included visits to Taman Negara and a scenic trip aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express.
