Students Make Food Stations On School Premises For Birds & Squirrels In Karnataka

In today’s age and time, being environmentally conscious is important as humans have caused a lot of damage to mother earth. I mean, it’s necessary that we care about other living beings of this planet too. Like, animal cruelty really needs to stop and we need to save the trees.

And in order to do so, we need to take initiatives. Recently, students of a government school in Dakshina Kannada made a creative effort to feed animals on their campus. They hung coconut shells on trees to make a food stop for birds and squirrels, reports Business Standard.

Have a look at their brilliant idea:

Speaking about the unique food station on the school premises, the Principal of the school was quoted by Hindustan Times saying, “Students are taking a lot of interest in the activity. Various types of birds visit the school campus, making the ambiance very nice.”

The principal hopes his students will become socially and environmentally conscious because of this initiative.

“The one area where children need to be given exposure is the protection of the environment, the upkeep of the campus and the greenery in and around their homes as well as in their schools.”

The school has an eco-club that helps students to learn and care about the environment. “Using this small idea, we can have a great beginning towards taking up bigger initiatives to take care of the environment.”

Well, this seems like a great initiative that will help young minds understand the importance of the environment. Kudos to the school for their unique initiative.
