Chennai enthusiastic to 'Save Tiger'*

Saturday, March 8, 2008 (Chennai)

NDTV has been running `Save The Tiger` campaign for three weeks now and one

of the front-runner in leading the campaign, has been the city of Chennai.

 

The campaign has become almost like a movement.

 

With their active participation, the children of the city demonstrated why

Tamil Nadu is the only place in the country where the tiger population has

gone up in the latest census.

 

Pranav, a student of YGP School said, ''The tiger disappearing is not a good

thing. It's our national animal and we must protect it.''

 

We received an overwhelming response at several public places in the city.

While students spearheaded the campaign, cooperates were just as

enthusiastic.

 

They didn't merely open their doors for our stalls but also gave the

campaign their own bit. The travelers were also approached for the campaign.

 

 

South Indian cinema superstar Rajnikanth also endorsed the campaign. He

said, ''You are doing an excellent job creating awareness. Fantastic. I

appreciate it.''
