Introduction!

Hello everyone! My name is Sameer Sharma, and I am a 10th grade student at Air Force
Golden Jubilee Institute in New Delhi. I got to know about the Young Rangers Event
through a school notice, and I am really excited to present in front of you today!

I am passionate about tiger conservation, and I believe that it is important to spread

awareness about this issue. I am also interested in expanding my knowledge and
improving my creativity, video presentation, and speaking skills. I believe that the Young
Rangers Event will be a great opportunity for me to do all of these things.

Thanks,
Sameer Sharma

Okay! Lets Get Started!

Why Tigers are Good
for Our World
 Tigers are big cats that eat other
animals and help to keep the plants
and animals in their homes in
balance.
 Tigers live in many different places,
such as forests, grasslands, and
wetlands, and their protection helps
to save many other kinds of life in
the world.
 Tigers are important for India’s
people, because they show strength,
beauty, and culture.
 Tigers are in danger because there
are fewer of them in the wild due to
people killing them, taking their
land, and making their food scarce.

climate change and keep
life in balance

animals, which affects how much plants
grow in the forest.
