Community education and outreach                                                                                                                         © Vishal Patel  © Himanshu Chaudhary


             Tolerance and sensitivity of the locals towards the sloth bear living in the study
             area  is  understood  and  based  on  the  outreach  awareness  campaigns  are
             organized. Increasing the tolerance for the sloth bear and developing positive
             attitudes will lead us to the conservation of the sloth bear. For this Conservation
             Outreach  center  and  children  education  programmes  in  the  school  of  tribal
             villages  in  and  around  the  sloth  bear  habitats  have  been  initiated.  Children's
             education programmes include showing documentaries, animation films, short
             presentations,  and  distributing  educational  posters,  pocket  booklets,  activity
             booklets, and comic stories about sloth bears.
