Climate change awareness among students

Introducing himself as Jungle, he reminds the students that if they walk without extinguishing the fire, the forest will catch fire.

How do wildfires play a role in everything from biodiversity to soil erosion and climate change? After reminding about the problems it causes in human life, the students get scared and put out the fire and return home. Meanwhile, some students are throwing garbage in the water. A girl comes and reminds him that I am water.

When the water is dirty, he reminded how aquatic biodiversity is being destroyed and how it affects people. Later that person promises not to litter and reminds others not to litter. These scenes are not real. This is just a part of the play performed by the students of Gokuleshwar Agriculture and Animal Science Campus of Baitadi at Kailash Secondary School of Kedarsyun Rural Municipality.

However, after watching this play, the students here said that they understand the role of people in the deteriorating environment and the effects of climate change, and said that they will behave in an environment-friendly manner.

'We knew that our behavior would cause problems in the environment, but she understood how it would affect us,' said Nirmala Khati, a student in class 9, 'After watching the play, I understood that we have to act carefully.' She said that she has been taking it as normal to cut down trees and throw garbage randomly when she goes. World Vision International, Dalit Support Society and NYCA Baitadi, a non-governmental organization working in Bajhang along with

science campus, have said that the students will not engage in behaviors that affect the environment due to climate change, its impact on the human community and climate adaptation and mitigation in the schools of Kedarsyun Rural Municipality.

How many times have I set fire to the forest in the past? Like me, I have seen others set fire for no reason,' said Karan Vick, a student of class 10, 'After knowing the effect of setting fire like that, I feel like I have committed a big crime.' He will remind his family and community to protect the environment Said to work.

More than 1,200 students from five secondary schools of Kedarsyun Rural Municipality participated in this campaign which lasted for three days and taught not only students but also teachers and parents to behave environmentally friendly.

'The campaign which was conducted using various methods including wall painting, Deuda song, drama has made many people aware,' Navaraj Thapa, headmaster of Kailash Secondary School, said, "If what the students learn can reach their parents, it can play a good role in protecting the environment here." In 2077, six people including four members of the same family were killed in a landslide in Mallesi of Kedarsyun. The flood and landslide of 2078 also caused great physical damage here.

'We have run a campaign in this municipality as it is a climate-related disaster area,' said Kuvendra Rokaya, the program coordinator of the Dalit Support Society He said that activities such as destruction, cutting down forests, mixing garbage in water sources, and setting fires will increase the risk.
