The Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) is using books to bring children and youth closer to nature
Rare and valuable wildlife books are being distributed in schools, colleges and social service organisations, under Project Wildlife Book Donation for Institutions.BNHS last week distributed its first collection worth Rs 96,650 among students of 10 municipal and government-aided schools. The books were sponsored by BNHS life member Dr Mrudula Thakkar. The aim is to create environmental awareness among the city’s youth.
“We launched the project on September 14, and our Conservation Education Centre (CEC) in Goregaon donated 10 sets of 13 books each to schools that can’t afford them. In our next step in October first week, we will cover 30 schools, colleges and NGOs and Dr Thakkar will donate nearly Rs 3 lakh,” said Sachin Chorge, education officer, CEC.
