Protest against mining forest lands at the Coal Ministry's office

November 30, 2011: Greenpeace activists dressed as tigers blocked the gates of Shastri Bhawan, which houses the Ministry of Coal, demanding that forests in Central India be saved from coal mining. 20 life size tigers were chained in front of the main gate to protest against the threat mining posed to their habitat. Three activists in tiger costumes demanded a meeting with the minister to deliver petitions signed by 112,000 people from across the country opposed to the coal ministry's demand for more forest land.
