Ecological education being one of the primary objectives of the
Foundation, nature education programmers for specific target
groups such as school children were initiated by the Foundation
way back in 1982. So far, more than 2,700 such camps covering
about 1.52 Lac school children and 10,000 teachers have been organised by the Foundation
till January, 2008. Special camping sites at Indroda
Nature Park (INP) and Hingolgadh Nature Education Sanctuary (HNES)
have been developed for this purpose. The Foundation organises
about 150 nature education camps every year covering about 7,500
students and 300 teachers. During each camp, participants stay
in the wild for two nights and three days.
Recently, GEER Foundation has developed a wilderness park in the
eastern part of the Indroda Nature Park |
