On August 8, 2024, the EIACP Resource Partner on Avian Ecology at the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS-EIACP) organized a session on “Monsoon Breeding Birds” for students in classes 6 to 9 at SIES High School, Matunga. The session, part of #Mission LiFE , was attended by 60 students. Programme Officer Mr. Nandkishor Dudhe delivered an engaging presentation on general bird information, monsoon breeding species, and brood parasitism in cuckoos. The interactive session was well-received, with students participating actively and receiving the 'Buceros' newsletter and a Hindi booklet titled “Wildlife in the Thar Desert” as rewards for correct answers. An Eco-Club will be formed from these students. Mrs. Raji Nair (Coordinator) and two teachers were present. Students were encouraged to take photographs of local birds as a follow-up activity to help them encourage a love for the environment. Natasha Girkar, Information Officer assisted in organising the event.
