“Biodiversity, Conservation & Ethical Responsibility at Bannerghatta” is an advanced full-day learning experience where students investigate how animals survive, interact, and adapt within complex ecosystems. Through an analytical safari study, adaptation-focused zoo observations, pollinator ecosystem analysis at the Butterfly Park, and a conservation design challenge, learners examine how human systems—urbanisation, governance, and ethics—directly impact wildlife. The programme builds ecological literacy, strengthens ethical reasoning, and nurtures informed responsibility toward conserving biodiversity.
Students strengthen Research, Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Self-Management skills as they conduct field investigations, analyse behaviours, evaluate adaptations, document ecological interactions, engage in ethical discussions, design conservation prototypes, and demonstrate responsible conduct in a wildlife environment.
Students develop the ability to identify species groups and habitat structures, analyse complex adaptations, understand food webs and energy flows, distinguish natural vs human-caused threats, collaborate on conservation solutions, communicate scientific reasoning effectively, and connect human decisions to long-term biodiversity protection.
By the end of the programme, students can analyse biodiversity patterns, describe advanced adaptations, explain food web relationships, evaluate conservation systems ethically, propose realistic conservation actions, and reflect on their personal responsibility to protect ecosystems.
