THT’s Education and Awareness Programme adopts a comprehensive approach that not only integrates environmental education within school curricula but also emphasises interdisciplinary training for Conservation Practitioners nationwide. This dual focus is designed to inspire environmental consciousness among young students while equipping professionals with the skills needed for effective conservation practices. By addressing both foundational education and specialised training, THT’s programme fosters a well-rounded understanding of environmental stewardship, aiming to create a ripple effect in both local communities and professional conservation circles across the country.
The challenges of nature conservation have become far more complex, operating in chaotic systems with high stakes. This has made addressing the conservation challenges multi-dimensional in scale and scope. It is pertinent and imperative that practitioners are equipped and updated with the necessary skills and knowledge that are multi-disciplinary and at the cutting edge. To address these requirements, The Habitats Trust and Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence have launched a Conservation Practitioners’ course. This course will cover the fundamentals of ecology, social sciences, field methodologies, use of technology, data analysis, intervention design, project planning & implementation, monitoring & evaluation, and other skills required for carrying out effective conservation. This nine-month certificate course will be taught by some of India’s leading experts.
