Save animals, birds and wildlife slogans
World Wildlife Day is observed on 3 March. These slogans cover forests and wild animals, the sparrows and street dogs of our own lanes, and plain kindness to every living thing.
English
The forest is their home. We are only visitors.
A bowl of water on your wall is a bird's whole summer.
Leave the nest alone. Someone lives there.
Wild animals belong in the wild, not in cages or showcases.
Drive slowly. The forest has its own pedestrians.
No sparrow in the lane? Ask what we changed.
Be kind to the dog on your street. He guards it for free.
If you love animals, do not buy what was taken from them.
They cannot speak. So we must.
Save the tiger, and you save the whole forest with it.
Feathers belong on birds.
Every creature has a job in nature. Let it work.
हिन्दी
जंगल उनका घर है, हम सिर्फ़ मेहमान हैं।
छत पर पानी का एक कटोरा, पंछी की पूरी गर्मी।
घोंसला मत छेड़ो, वहाँ कोई रहता है।
जंगल के रास्ते पर धीरे चलो, वहाँ जानवर भी राहगीर हैं।
गली के कुत्ते को मत मारो, वह बिना तनख़्वाह का चौकीदार है।
बेज़ुबान की आवाज़ बनो।
गौरैया लौट आएगी, बस थोड़ा दाना पानी रख दो।
पतंग की डोर पेड़ों से हटाओ, पंछियों की जान बचाओ।
जीव जंतु धरती की शान, इनकी रक्षा सबका काम।
बाघ बचेगा तो जंगल बचेगा।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
Where these slogans are used
Wildlife week and World Wildlife Day posters, eco-club boards, zoo and sanctuary visits, summer campaigns to put out water for birds, and kindness lessons for junior classes. Younger children respond to this subject more than any other, so it is a good one for a first poster competition.
Write your own
Choose one animal, and the slogan becomes real. The sparrow that no longer nests in the ventilator. The street dog in the afternoon heat. The tiger, the elephant, the turtle, the vulture. Then say what the reader can do: put out a bowl of water, leave the nest alone, drive slowly on a forest road, keep kite string off the trees, never buy things made from wild animals.

Small acts that fit a slogan
- A bowl of water on the terrace or at the gate in summer, washed and refilled daily.
- A handful of grain for birds, placed away from cats and traffic.
- Slowing down for animals on the road, especially at night.
- Taking litter home from parks, hills and forests.
What to avoid
- Advice on treating or feeding wild or injured animals. Tell the forest department, a vet or a local rescue group.
- Encouraging children to go close to wild animals, snakes or unknown dogs for a photograph.
- Facts about numbers of animals left unless they come from an official count you can name.
Using these slogans
- For a poster, draw the animal's eyes large and looking at the viewer. People protect what looks back at them.
