Celebrate International Tiger Day with tiger paintings by children

India committed itself to protecting tigers by launching Project Tiger in 1973. Starting with a small number of 9 tiger reserves in 1973, we have come a long way with 50 tiger reserves and a tiger population touching 3000. The fact that India now accounts for 70% of the global tiger population, speaks volumes of the success of Project Tiger. Let us celebrate International Tiger Day or the Global Tiger Day with some beautiful paintings by children from different parts of India. Children love tigers and at the same time they are in awe of this majestic wild cat. See these beautiful tiger paintings by child artists across India. These have been shortlisted from Khula Aasmaan children’s art competition, which is a free online art competition.
