Speaking on the occasion, Shri Yadav highlighted the importance of preserving India’s flora and fauna. In a post on the social media platform X, he stated that Wildlife Week serves as a platform to spread awareness nationwide about biodiversity conservation and ecological balance.
This year, the celebrations are aligned with the theme Sewa Parv, emphasizing service and responsibility towards nature. Activities during the week aim to inspire citizens to engage actively in protecting the environment and contributing to sustainable development.
Community Participation and Recognition
The foundation stone ceremony and plantation drive witnessed enthusiastic participation from local communities, students, and environmentalists. Individuals and organizations who have shown exemplary commitment to wildlife and forest conservation were honored for their efforts, reinforcing the message that collective action is essential to safeguard India’s natural heritage.
Experts stress that such initiatives not only enhance public awareness but also strengthen grassroots efforts in wildlife protection. By involving citizens in tree planting and conservation activities, the government seeks to cultivate a sense of environmental responsibility among younger generations.
Significance of ‘Namo Van’
The ‘Namo Van’ is envisioned as a landmark forest and conservation hub in Manesar, contributing to habitat preservation, ecological education, and biodiversity research. The project will provide a space for educational programs, wildlife awareness campaigns, and active community participation in sustainable forestry practices.
By establishing ‘Namo Van’, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change aims to strengthen India’s wildlife conservation framework while fostering a culture of environmental stewardship across Haryana and neighboring regions.
Looking Ahead
Wildlife Week 2025 is part of India’s broader efforts to promote ecological balance and environmental protection. Initiatives like ‘Namo Van’ and campaigns such as ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ are instrumental in connecting citizens with nature, inspiring action, and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
