Environment & Our Birds, 2 November 2026

Completed

Monday, 2 November 2026 at 10:00 am · AIS School, Mansarovar, Jaipur

An interactive session on the role of birds in our environment, for students of AIS School, Mansarovar. Following the Observe • Understand • React (Protect) journey, the KJVF team and the students looked at what birds need to survive and how a simple food chain grows into a food web, where nature works through many connected paths, not just one.

A teacher of AIS School set the stage for the students before the session began. It ended with simple actions every student can take to help birds: at home, at school and as a citizen. Planting a tree is a beginning; protecting and caring for it is the real work. The morning closed with the KJVF team and the school's teachers together.
