Report by Santanu Ganguly: For all those nature-lovers who want to make a difference, this yearly workshop teaches you all you need to know about conservation education. Every year we train bunch of nature enthusiasts to work with us. Till now more than 300 individuals have been trained of which more than 50 committed Green Guides are currently working with us for whom, the Centre is a second home. The 4 day over-night module includes broad subjects like natural history, environment education and nature conservation. We use hands-on training and participatory learning approaches followed by a job handling phase known as “Shadowing Phase”. The participants learn about nature walks, slide shows, project works, education material development, communication skills, programme planning, budgetary preparation, crisis management and much more. Participants are enrolled on payroll of green guides on successful completion of ‘Shadowing Phase’.
Note: The United Nations Convention for Biological Diversity has developed 20 global biodiversity targets for year 2020, also known as Aichi Targets. We are happy to inform you that by participating in the above event, you will help BNHS in contributing to two of these targets: Target 1 (Awareness of Biodiversity), and Target 19 (Biodiversity Knowledge).
