It highlighted the critical threats facing wildlife, such as poaching, habitat destruction, and illegal wildlife trade, while fostering a collective commitment to preserve biodiversity for future generations.
The event featured insightful discussions led by experts, focusing on the basics of wildlife conservation, challenges faced globally and locally, and innovative community-based solutions to address these issues. It was also a moment to inspire action, emphasizing that wildlife conservation is a shared responsibility that transcends borders, fields, and professions.

HELLO OCTOBER: SQUIRREL AWARENESS MONTH
Squirrels are often seen as playful and curious creatures, darting through parks and gardens with boundless energy. But did you know these tiny acrobats play a vital role in our ecosystems?
Squirrels are nature's tree planters. By burying seeds and forgetting about them, they help forests regenerate and grow. However, many squirrel species are facing habitat loss, food scarcity, and threats from urban development. This Squirrel Awareness today is a reminder to appreciate these small yet significant creatures. Let’s protect their habitats, provide safe spaces for them in our gardens, and ensure they thrive for future generations.
What can you do?
Avoid using harmful chemicals in your yard.
Plant trees and bushes that provide food and shelter.
Spread awareness about their importance to our ecosystems.
Together, we can ensure squirrels continue to bring life to our parks and forests!
