The Parambikulam Tiger Reserve, known for its lush forests and diverse wildlife, plays a crucial role in Kerala’s ecological balance. By involving local students in these competitions, the reserve management aims to:
Raise Environmental Awareness: Educating young minds about the importance of forests, wildlife conservation, and sustainable living is key to building a generation that values and protects nature.
Encourage Community Participation: Engaging schools and students fosters a sense of community responsibility towards the environment, making conservation a shared goal.
Promote Creativity as a Tool for Change: Art is a powerful way to support the environment, making complex issues easier to understand and more inspiring for everyone.
Students from Kollengode St. Paul’s Higher Secondary School are encouraged to take part enthusiastically in these competitions. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their talents, learn more about environmental issues, and contribute to spreading the message of conservation within their community. Events like these at Parambikulam Tiger Reserve highlight the vital role education and community engagement play in environmental stewardship. By celebrating World Environment Day with creative competitions, the reserve not only honors the planet but also plants the seeds for a greener, more sustainable future through the eyes and voices of young people.
