“Biodiversity, Conservation & Human Responsibility at Bannerghatta” is an immersive full-day programme where students explore how animals live, survive, adapt, and depend on their habitats. Through a guided safari, adaptation-focused zoo walk, butterfly life cycle study, and a hands-on conservation design task, students discover the relationship between human behaviour and the wellbeing of wildlife. The experience builds foundational ecological literacy, empathy for living beings, and a sense of responsibility for protecting shared natural spaces.
Students strengthen Research, Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Self-Management skills as they observe animals, compare adaptations, sequence life cycles, record field insights, design conservation posters, participate in reflection discussions, and practise respectful behaviour in a wildlife environment.
Students develop the ability to identify animal groups and habitats, recognise simple adaptations, understand predator–prey and food-chain relationships, trace life cycles, work collaboratively on conservation tasks, communicate observations effectively, and connect human behaviour to habitat protection.
By the end of the programme, students can identify major animal types, describe basic adaptations, outline a butterfly life cycle, explain simple food chains, demonstrate empathy for animals, propose age-appropriate conservation actions, and reflect on their personal responsibility toward biodiversity.
