Happy World Wildlife Day 2022!!!

World Wildlife Day on March 3rd annually dedicates a celebration to all life on our planet. The yearly event is observed globally to raise an awareness about threatened and endangered species of Earth. On this World Wildlife Day (WWD) under the theme “Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration”, Nature Environment & Wildlife Society celebrated by raising the voice and spreading awareness among the communities, especially the children. At one of our project site, Bhatujala in the Valmiki Tiger Reserve, a small awareness walk was conducted around the village with school children and Elephant Protection Group (EPG) members. It was followed by a talk session with the children to educate them on conservation. 78 participants came forward and took active participation in the program.   At another project site, Sittong in Kurseong, an awareness rally on ‘Protect Salamander’ was led by the NEWS team members of the WBADMIP Kurseong Project with support of Triveni Pariwar Water Users’ Association to raise an awareness on the not so familiar but endangered species, The Himalayan Salamander. The rally started from Namthing Pokhri with placards designed with different slogans to protect the salamander along with other birds and animals of the Mahananda wildlife sanctuary. The rally ended at Ahaldara cinchona sanctuary gate. Around 30 community members of Triveni Pariwar WUA participated in the rally. In the afternoon 45 children participated in a sit and draw competition at Ghalaytar community hall.  Happy World Wildlife Day 2022!!!  #RecoverKeySpecies #WorldWildlifeDay2022 #Conservation #IUCN #CITES
