 KIDS FOR TIGERS (The Sanctuary Tiger

Programme: 2010 – 2012)

• By using the tiger as a symbol of 

the environmental health of our

country, the program aims at

explaining how the survival of the

tiger in the wild is linked with the

survival of all of the diverse

natural richness of India and how

it can help mitigate climate

change.

• The theme for 2010-2011 was

‘Save Our Tigers’ and for 2011-

2012 is ‘Before it’s too late’.
