Messages, imparted via games with prizes, exhibitions, talks and workshops, is that we are fortunate to reside in one of the centres of the world’s biodiversity. However, the richness of our plantlife and animals is threatened by rapid development, leading to deforestation, loss of air, land and water quality and loss of species. Conservation and wildlife protection is therefore the great need of the day, to ensure a better life for both humans and plants and animals.
