The Nature Walk, Sustainability Committee of IFMR GSB, recently organised a series of immersive initiatives aimed at celebrating biodiversity and promoting environmental stewardship within the campus community.
On 30th and 31st August 2025, the Bird Watching Workshop and Nature Walk, conducted by the committee, provided participants with an engaging introduction to global bird diversity and the species inhabiting the Krea campus. The workshop, led by Professor Debankur Saha, encouraged enriching discussions, fostering a deeper understanding of ecological systems and the importance of conservation. The experience was further enhanced with a guided visit to Sri City Lake, where participants observed birds in their natural habitats, learned to identify different species, and reflected on the delicate balance of ecosystems.
Building on this momentum, a Campus Nature Walk was held on 4th September 2025, also organised by the committee. This walk, again guided by Professor Debankur Saha, allowed participants to explore local biodiversity, capture photographs, and engage in thoughtful conversations about sustainable practices, deepening their awareness of the significance of ecological preservation.
The initiatives received enthusiastic appreciation from the student community, highlighting their eagerness to engage with nature. These experiences reinforced a culture of curiosity, ecological mindfulness, and a shared commitment towards a sustainable future.
