Indian award-winning actor, producer, and UN Goodwill Ambassador Dia Mirza marked World Wildlife Day with a heartfelt call to protect tigers and the forests they inhabit. Sharing a message from Tiger Fest with the Kids For Tigers initiative, she reflected, “When young voices rise together, something shifts. The tiger becomes more than a symbol, it becomes a reminder that forests birth rivers, hold our soil, steady our climate, and quietly protect every breath we take.”
She further added “These children understand something many adults forget: clean air, clean water, healthy soil and a safe climate are not luxuries they are life itself.”She also mentioned “Saving the tiger is not about saving a species alone. It is about protecting the delicate web of life that protects us.”
A long-standing advocate for conservation, Dia Mirza has been associated with Sanctuary Nature Foundation for nearly two decades, with the Kids For Tigers programme remaining especially close to her heart. The actress also serves as a United Nations Environment Programme Goodwill Ambassador and United Nations Secretary-General’s Advocate for the Sustainable Development Goals. She is also Ambassador for the Wildlife Trust of India, an eco-investor, and a committed voice for climate action and biodiversity preservation.
