We take wildlife into the classroom — teaching Delhi's school children about the environment, urban wildlife, and the hidden dangers of manja kite string.
Conservation begins with the young.
Children are the future custodians of Delhi's skies. Through our education and outreach programme, Wildlife Rescue visits schools to help students understand the wildlife that shares their city — and the everyday hazards, like glass-coated manja string, that put it at risk. Our session at Infinity Learning Centre, Wazirabad, Delhi, was led by Samia and Mohammad Umar of Wildlife Rescue, and ended with a drawing contest and gift distribution celebrating what the children had learned.
Four ideas at the heart of every session.
How ecosystems fit together, why biodiversity matters, and the small everyday choices that protect nature.
Delhi's wild neighbours — Black Kites, owls, and vultures — and what to do when you find an injured bird.
How wildlife survives in a megacity of glass and concrete, and how we can share the space we live in.
Why glass-coated manja string maims and kills thousands of birds — and safer, kinder ways to enjoy kite flying.
Our awareness session at Infinity Learning Centre, Wazirabad, Delhi.
After the session, students drew what they had learned — and the best became a drawing contest.
A drawing contest. Each child put what they had learned onto paper — birds, trees, clean skies, and the dangers of manja.
Gifts for everyone. The session ended with a gift distribution, celebrating every young artist and their new role as a wildlife ally.
This session was conducted by Samia and Mohammad Umar of Wildlife Rescue, who bring the work of the clinic into classrooms across Delhi.
We'd love to visit your classroom. Invite our team for an awareness session on wildlife, urban ecology, and kite-flying safety — or help fund the programme so more children can take part.
