The sport of skating has been used for driving home a point in metros having a large presence of skaters. In this beautiful coastal town too, two little skaters are making the bureaucrats sit up and taken note. Ten-year-old Amisha and 5-year-old Shuban are rolling their way to promote tiger conservation.

Students of a Kaiga township school, the two skated 38 km recently to reach Karwar and presented the deputy conservator of forest a self-written message about conserving tigers in Anashi reserve in Kadra and Dhandeli.

"We are tired but are immensely pleased that we could take this journey on roller skates for a good cause," said Shuban. His sister Amisha showed her passion as he started talking about tigers.

"Tiger was on top of the chart of predators. Without tigers, this world would have been a boring place. If animals like deer and sambhar are overpopulated, all our grasslands will go and the earth will lose its water holding capacity which will, in turn, affect mankind in the future," she said

Their father Dilip Hanabar, who had been a student in the area surrounding Anashi Tiger reserve, said: "They gathered so much information about tigers that I could not acquire through all these years. My daughter, who is a member of the Uttara Kannada Amateur roller skating association, put forward this proposal to me to skate all the way to Karwar. I was not sure they would make it in hot summer, but they did and did it in just four hours."
