Jaipur. A group of thirty students from Vimukti School recently experienced an immersive educational journey at the Nahargarh Biological Park. Organized by the Jaipur chapter of the Green People Society in collaboration with the Forest Department, the visit coincided with the global observance of World Wildlife Week. Accompanied by their teachers, Ekta and Bhumi, the young participants spent the day observing various species in their naturalistic enclosures.
The students were captivated as they encountered a diverse array of animals, including tigers, lions, leopards, hippos, bears, and various deer species such as sambar and blackbuck. The sight of these creatures in a controlled environment provided a rare opportunity for the children to witness wildlife behavior firsthand, sparking curiosity and excitement among the group throughout the tour.
Expert guidance was provided by Assistant Conservator of Forests Jitendra Singh Shekhawat and Forester Rajaram, who explained the intricacies of animal habitats, dietary habits, and the critical role these species play in maintaining ecological balance. The educational session emphasized that protecting wildlife is essential for the health of our planet's biodiversity, leaving a lasting impression on the visiting students.
Practical demonstrations added depth to the experience, as Dr. Ashok provided a detailed overview of the techniques used to tranquilize and rescue animals safely. This segment offered the students a unique glimpse into the professional challenges and responsibilities involved in wildlife rehabilitation and rescue operations, highlighting the dedication required to protect vulnerable species.
Beyond observation, the students participated in a wildlife-themed quiz, a cleanliness drive within the park, and a tree-planting initiative. These activities were designed to foster a sense of environmental stewardship and personal responsibility. The event was coordinated by retired IAS officer Vikram Singh, with support from Colonel Badal Verma and Alok Gupta, ensuring the day served as a meaningful step toward connecting the younger generation with nature and conservation efforts.
