On November 25 and 26, the “Rhino Goes to School” outreach initiative was conducted in schools around Manas National Park, engaging around 600 students. Hosted at three schools, the program’s centerpiece was an interactive session by researcher Ujjal Bayan, who educated students on the biology, behavior, and conservation status of the Greater One-horned Rhino, emphasizing their ecological importance. Wasima Begum discussed the role of communities in conservation, highlighting the need for youth involvement. The initiative included a quiz competition and an art segment, where students expressed their understanding of rhino conservation. Organized by WWF and others, the program was supported by KACF.
