Drawing for the Planet: The Tiger’s Forest

Led by artist and Drawing for the Planet founder Jane Lee McCracken, you are invited to learn about tigers and create expressive ballpoint pen drawings.

Drawing for the Planet’s The Tigers’ Forest project, in partnership with international wildlife charity Born Free, celebrates the iconic Bengal tigers of India and the majestic Malayan tigers of Peninsular Malaysia. Through the drawings of over a thousand children from the UK, the USA, India, and Singapore, the project raises awareness of endangered tigers and the diverse flora and fauna that inhabit their landscapes and raises funds for tiger conservation organizations.

Launched in 2024, The Tigers' Forest includes Amazing Tigers virtual and on-site environmental education and drawing workshops in Singapore (May 2024), the UK (May 2024), the USA (November 2024) and India (2025).

As part of the project Jane will create The Tigers’ Forest montage featuring a selection of children’s drawings from all four countries. Drawing for the Planet (DftP) will seek to install a large printed mural of the artwork in a public space in India and the UK.
