"Kids for Tigers" - Programme at Karara HS School, Baihata Chariali, Assam

It is always challenging to organize a programme like the ‘Sanctuary Asia Kids for Tigers’ at a rural school such as the Karara HS School at Baihata. But, we found students who could connect more with the Forests and Biodiversity, unlike the students of the Urban big schools. We found enthusiasm, cheerfulness, even if infrastructure was absent. We found students who knew the names of every bird, reptiles & amphibians that are found in the region. We found eagerness to learn, eagerness to know, eagerness to question. The Sanctuary Asia Kids for Tigers programme was executed by the Secretary and the Student Members of WildRoots.

WildRoots is one of the Programme Coordinators for the Sanctuary Asia Kids for Tigers Programme in the State of Assam. Though we struggled with basic power supply, classroom walls unsuitable for putting up banners and posters, we got smiles, encouragement, curiosity... and more. This was the first time that students from a rural school was encouraged into activities related to Tiger Conservation, which isimportant for the State of Assam.
