Animal Action Week being observed across India
According to IFAW, education and awareness are essential for saving tigers. And the future will be brighter for both animals and people if we can educate and inspire our children to take action on these issues.
ANIMAL ACTION Week (AAW) 2010 is being observed in the country since October 2 to 8 with a focus on tiger conservation. AAW was coordinated by the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) as part of a global initiative of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). According to IFAW, education and awareness are essential for saving tigers. And the future will be brighter for both animals and people if we can educate and inspire our children to take action on these issues. IFAW reached out to schools in different countries with free activity packs including a documentary film and information booklets that describe the world of tigers, threats faced by them in a number of tiger range countries including India and conservation initiatives being undertaken. According to organisers of the event, more than five million school children from 15 countries including India learned about the plight of tigers through educational activities organised as part of the Animal Action Week (AAW), an annual animal-focussed event coinciding with the wildlife week. IFAW-AAW 2010 event was the 18th Animal Action Week globally and is the eighth in India since the project was launched in India in 2003.
