World Environment Day - II 05-Jun-2025
World Environment Day is celebrated every year on 5th June to demonstrate support for environmental protection via various measures. This year, the park celebrated World Environment Day by organising a “Biodiversity Run”, which is a fun way of teaching young students about the flora life present in their surrounding environment. Participants were instructed to collect plant samples from the Zoo forest, create a herbarium, and note identifying features of the collected samples. 20 Students from Darjeeling Govt. College’s Nature Club participated in the program. The students were divided into 4 groups, including 5 students each and they were provided with newspapers to collect plant samples. The event saw active participation as the students enthusiastically collected plants and identified them based on their physical features. The 4 groups were judged based on their knowledge about their surrounding plant life. The winning group identified 19 different local plant species.
