DRAS, October 6 — Students of the Army Goodwill School, Dras, marked World Animal Day with a series of creative activities, including poster-making, sketching, and art-and-craft projects. The event encouraged young participants to express their appreciation for the incredible creatures that share our planet, highlighting the importance of protecting wildlife habitats and supporting conservation efforts.
Teachers and organisers noted that such activities not only foster artistic expression but also instil a sense of responsibility and empathy towards the environment from an early age. By engaging students in discussions on biodiversity and animal welfare, the school aims to nurture environmentally conscious citizens who understand the interdependence between humans and nature.
Officials of the Fire and Fury Corps, who support educational initiatives across the region, emphasised that celebrating World Animal Day aligns with broader efforts to sensitise children in frontier areas to ecological balance, wildlife protection, and sustainable practices that benefit both local communities and the environment. \ The Dispatch Staff
