Satpuda Foundation in collaboration with the Wildlife Department of Maharashtra, Sant Gadgebaba Amravati University, Environment Education and Conservation Global( EECG) and Nature Conservation Society, Amravati (NCSA) has organised international course in ‘Education as a tool for species conservation with a focus on tiger in India’

The course will be conducted at SGAU as well as in Melghat and Tadoba-Andhari tiger project from November 2 to 20.

The course has been organised to prepare emerging environmentalists so that they can create awareness in people about the climate change, environment conservation and other environment—related issues, Mr. Singh said.

Different complex problems about environment will be taught and discussed during this course and measures to solve them will also be tackled in it, he said.
