These interactive methods reflect the project’s overarching strategy of combining environmental education, youth engagement and citizen science to build long-term conservation leadership.
Under the larger initiative, EarthScouts will continue to engage in school campaigns, storytelling activities, Youth for Environment and Sundarban Club (YES Club), environmental awareness programs and community outreach, helping to translate awareness into meaningful action at the grassroots level.
Conservation activities will be carried out in 15 schools, creating extensive opportunities for students to participate in awareness-building and environmental management.
By involving youth from communities at the forest edge, the program creates a multiplier effect in which conservation values are taken into homes, schools and local institutions.
