Pattnaik created an impressive 50-foot-long sand sculpture of a tiger ensconced in a verdant jungle for the Tadoba Festival 2024. 

"On #WorldWildlifeDay, I present my 50ft long #Tiger SandArt at #Chandrapur district in #Maharashtra, during the #TadobaFestival2024," he captioned the post while sharing it on X, formerly Twitter. 

Why did he make the massive tiger sculpture? 

This outstanding accomplishment not only demonstrated his exceptional talent, but also highlighted the critical necessity to protect the planet's biodiversity. 

World Wildlife Day, marked annually on March 3, strives to promote awareness about Earth's different life forms. The day also highlights the myriad difficulties that wildlife face today, such as excessive deforestation, which threatens their habitats, climate change, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.

These difficulties highlight the critical role of wildlife in maintaining ecological balance and conserving biodiversity. Pattnaik's sand art at the Tadoba Festival 2024 was more than just artistic expression; it also served as a call to action.
