Need to support wildlife during extreme weather conditions

Participants worked collaboratively to identify shaded spots, fill water containers, and ensure they were stable and safe for birds. The coordinators also discussed the importance of regularly cleaning and refilling water pots to maintain hygiene and prevent mosquito breeding.
Students expressed their enthusiasm and satisfaction in contributing to a meaningful cause that directly supports the local ecosystem. The initiative inspired many to continue the practice at home and in their neighbourhoods.
The programme concluded with a pledge to protect wildlife and undertake small but impactful actions to support nature, especially during challenging climate conditions.
