Guwahati: In an effort to foster a deeper appreciation for wildlife conservation and promote coexistence with nature, the biodiversity conservation organization Aaranyak conducted an awareness and nature exposure programme at Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary in Assam on December 24.

The initiative aimed to inspire young minds to take an active interest in preserving wildlife and their habitats.

The programme, which involved 40 students from two local schools—Lokapriya GNB Secondary School and Bura Buri High School—was inaugurated by Pranjal Baruah, the Range Officer of Pobitora WLS.

During the event, Baruah stressed the importance of community involvement in conservation efforts and the vital role of awareness in ensuring the long-term sustainability of wildlife populations.

He also provided valuable guidance to the students on how to conduct themselves respectfully in the sanctuary, encouraging them to develop a sense of respect for nature.

The event was made possible with the support of an IUCN (CAG) grant and was part of Aaranyak’s ongoing efforts to engage local communities, especially the younger generation, in wildlife conservation activities.

Pobitora WLS, known for its population of over 100 one-horned Indian rhinoceros, provided a perfect setting for the students to learn about the significance of wildlife and ecosystems.

Arif Hussain, Manager in Aaranyak’s Rhino Research and Conservation Division, delivered an insightful talk on the importance of wildlife conservation and the intricate relationship between biodiversity and human survival.

His discussion inspired the students to think critically about the role they can play in supporting conservation efforts.

Ujjal Bayan, a researcher with the same division, led the students and accompanying teachers on a nature exposure trip around the sanctuary.

Bayan highlighted how Pobitora WLS provides essential ecosystem services to nearby communities, particularly in terms of water conservation and supporting agricultural practices.

He also shared tips on bird watching, emphasizing the sanctuary’s importance as a key stop for migratory birds during the winter months.

Rahul Das, a member of Aaranyak’s K9 team, played an instrumental role in ensuring the smooth execution of the programme.

Teachers accompanying the students expressed their appreciation for the initiative, expressing confidence that the programme would leave a lasting impression on the students, motivating them to contribute to nature conservation efforts in the future.

The event was a significant step towards educating the next generation of conservationists and fostering a culture of environmental stewardship in Assam.
