Ahead of the monsoon, we organised seed collection drives and local children collected a variety of endemic seeds during the drive. We also finalised the location for this year’s plantation drive during the monsoon. Our team also spoke to the children about the floral diversity of the landscape. The children prepared 300 saplings from the collected seeds to be planted during the monsoon.
We organised garbage management meetings and activities with villagers of Bhamdeli. Programmes were organised in order to sanitise the area around villages, as garbage spillover and food leftovers lure wildlife into villages and are a potential cause for human-wildlife conflict.
We also collected over 5 kilograms of plastic litter through public participation. 32 villagers volunteered for the programmes.
Environment Education Programme
During May, we organised students’ sensitisation drive through wildlife conservation awareness and environment education programmes in Kondegaon village. We engaged children in an interactive nature game where they learned about the identification of wildlife. 25 children participated.
