Some 3,000 school children from across Delhi and the NCR are joining us in the call to action, forming a giant Tiger-350 aerial art image.
The Tiger Consultation will take place in Teen Murti Bhavan and will include among others the Union Environment Minister, all tiger experts in the country, Dr. Karan Singh and a series of eminent personalities from the country.
We invite all of you to come to Teen Murti Bhavan on the 28th of July at 09:30 to demand justice for the tigers, humanity, and all generations to come. You will be able to take part in the first giant human-tiger image ever in India, sending a huge, beautiful call to action to Indian and world leaders.
And from 18:00 to 19:30 we invite you to join 350.org co-founder and US author and environmental visionary, Bill McKibben, speaking on building a global movement to fight climate change and get the world back below 350 ppm CO2. Bill McKibben wrote the first book on climate change for a public audience, The End of Nature, in 1989 and has been a visionary in the movement for technological, social, and political action to address the climate crisis. Please join us, be inspired, and join the movement!
