Children

The Indira Gandhi Zoological Park in Visakhapatnam has exciting plans for National Wildlife Week, running from October 2 to 8. The aim is to boost awareness of wildlife conservation and biodiversity among children and nurture their creativity. Children under 12 will enjoy free entry and can engage in various activities, including essay writing, drawing, and photography competitions. The week will feature a bird walk, forest exploration, coastal cleanup, fancy dress contests, nature trails, and more. Vizag Zoo’s curator, Nandani Salaria, expressed the goal of raising awareness and education through these engaging activities, with participation certificates and attractive prizes for winners. Families, schools, and the wider public are all invited to partake in this wildlife exploration.
