World Nature Conversation Day - 19.07.19

World Nature Conservation Day was observed on the 19th of
July 2019. It recognizes that a healthy environment is the foundation
for a stable and productive society and to ensure the well-being of
present and future generations, we all must participate to protect,
conserve, and sustainably manage our natural resources. Students of
Class VIIA conducted the special assembly.
Speeches and talks were given to educate the students on how
we all depend on natural resources like water, air, soil, minerals, trees,
animals, food, and gas to live our daily lives. And thus we must strive
in preserving our natural resources for future generation to sustain
human species. It was ingrained in the students’ mind that to keep
the balance in the natural world, we must also help various species to
continue to exist.
Posters and charts were made and displayed to show how
human greediness is leading to mass extinctions in the near future.
Our main objective was in increasing awareness about and protecting
the natural resources that the Earth is bestowed with. It is necessary to
understand what ‘Sustainability’ truly means and also it is important to
inculcate environment-friendly habits to lead a Green Lifestyle. Several
scenarios from the present situation, like the omnipresent water
shortage, global warming, storms, was touched upon so that the
children may be able to relate themselves to the impending disaster if
nature is not conserved, and why we should not waste them.
At the end of the day the children realized that they must
make a conscious effort to contribute to the local, national, and global
efforts in conserving nature and the benefit the present and future
generations.

International Tiger Day - 22.07.19

There is nothing like the thrill of walking through the jungle looking for
a tiger and knowing they could be watching you already.
International Tiger Day, is an annual celebration to raise
awareness for tiger conservation, held annually on 29 July. The goal
of the day is to promote a global system for protecting the natural
habitats of tigers and to raise public awareness and support for tiger
conservation issues. Tiger, being our National animal, San Academy
Kamakoti Nagar created an awareness programme for the protection
of tigers on 22nd July.
Students of Class VIIB conducted the special assembly. The
students were familiarized with the condition of this endangered
animal. The causes of the decline in their numbers like poaching,
habitat loss and climate change was discussed. With ‘World population
day’ recently celebrated students could correlate between the two
and were able to conclude that with people and tiger competing for
space, forests shrank and prey animals depleted.
