The celebration of the National Wildlife Week 2022 is going on in the country from 2 October. During this time, awareness on conservation and protection of animals is created and spread on a large scale. The special week (2-8 October) is celebrated, as wildlife is a major part of our ecosystem and any harm caused to it can cause an imbalance in the entire ecosystem.

Along with the rest of the country, the Indian Forest Officers (IFS) have been observing the National Wildlife Week and are contributing their bit in spreading awareness in their designated areas.

SPECIAL WILDLIFE WEEK DUSSEHRA

IFS officer Anupam Sharma, who is currently serving as the DFO of Sendhwa forest division in Madhya Pradesh, marked the wildlife week by organising some events in all his five ranges. As the festival of Dussehra fell on this week, the officer celebrated it in a special way. In place of faces on the heads of the Ravana, the officer placed the 10 threats to wildlife in India.

Threats like poaching, habitat loss, accidents, revenge killing, electrocution, plastic pollution, smuggling of wildlife parts, climate change, pets and open wells were mentioned. While burning the Ravana on Dussehra Dahan, his message was to destroy all these threats along with it.

Apart from this, the officer also conducted painting and quiz competitions in schools so that children become aware of the threats to wildlife and can help in its protection in future. A Nature & Wildlife Drawing/Painting Competition was also organized by the Pansemal team of Sendhwa Forest Division.

Similarly, forest officers in other parts of the country also busied themselves in spreading awareness in their own way. IFS officer Sudha Ramen, who is also a talented Mandala artist, designed a painting on the occasion which showed 10 animals and their close associations.

Whereas, IFS officer Abhinav Kumar conducted a bird watching workshop at Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary on the occasion. The workshop was led by the great birder, Pratap Singh, IFS, and attended by senior officers, enthusiasts and birdwatchers.
