The Kids For Tigers Annual Tiger Fest 2015 was held at the Royal Global School, Guwahati on 30th April. Kids For Tigers is the Sanctuary Asia Aircel Save Our Tigers initiative for schools students; in Assam, the programme is implemented by Green Guard Nature Organization in select schools at Guwahati and Tezpur. The programme seeks to educate school children and teachers about the connection between the Tiger, as the iconic representative of India's wildlife, the conservation of its habitat, the role of these forests in carbon sequestration, climate change consequences, mitigation, water, mankind and children being the hope for a better future.
Over a thousand students representing several city schools participated in the activities which included competitive events like garbage installation, junk jam, on-the-spot art, face painting, tattoo, dustbins for school buses, poster making, poetry, nukkad natak, etc., and a photographic representation of the grassroots conservation initiatives of Green Guard Nature Organization. A Teacher's Environmental Leadership Workshop was also organized on the sidelines to educate the teachers about the consequences of climate change in India, with special reference to Assam and the available individual, community and technological mitigation opportunities.
Padmashri Jadav Payeng, Chief Guest at the Closing Ceremony exhorted the students present to live green lives and make intelligent consumer choices to be environment friendly. The 'Forest Man of India' also asked every student to plant trees and nurture them so that Assam has enough trees to sustain its growing population.
