Celebrating Wildlife Week at Vital Eco-Events

On March 3, the significant environmental holiday known as World Wildlife Day (#WorldWildlifeDay) was celebrated in order to raise awareness among 7th, 8th, and 9th-grade students at Turi Remety Secondary School about the value of wildlife and the critical role of biodiversity, a series of environmental education activities were organized throughout the week. A biology teacher, Orysia Krechko, aimed to instill in the students the understanding that wildlife is an essential component of our planet, highlighting that the world’s biodiversity is integral to its functioning. Through engaging and interactive sessions, she educated the children on simple everyday practices that can contribute to the protection of animals and plants in their natural habitats. An exhibition curated by the teacher showcased books on flora and fauna diversity, highlighting the harmful impact of human activities on the environment.

Mrs. Krechko pointed out the students’ keen interest in exploring information about animals from various continents, as many of them were unfamiliar with certain species. A focal point of the week was a competition challenging students to discover the most intriguing facts about different living organisms from the literature presented. The students were particularly intrigued by books made from recycled paper, distinguished by slightly darker pages. The teacher explained that these books were created without cutting down trees, delighting the students with this eco-friendly aspect. Reflecting on the wildlife-focused week at school, children came to the conclusion that everyone can help to enhance the environment. Some may pick up trash, plant trees or flowers, or ensure they leave no trace in nature. They emphasized the necessity of conserving the world’s natural treasures and the opportunity for improvement by working together.

The event was held within the framework of cooperation between the Interreligious and Civil Environmental Forum of Eastern Europe (IRCEF) headed by Olexander Bokotey) and the German Nature Conservation Union (NABU Bundesverband, NABU International), project coordinators Ivan Tymofeiev (NABU), and Nataliya Kulya (IRCEF).
