The program is open to students aged 10 to 18, with each batch limited to 60 participants to keep sessions personal and interactive. Sessions run every Sunday for three hours, covering topics such as captive wildlife management, animal behavior and welfare, and both in-situ and ex-situ conservation methods.
Participants get direct access to field conservation experts, wildlife veterinarians, and zoo education staff who guide discussions and field observation sessions. Beyond building ecological awareness, the program introduces students to career paths in conservation science and ecology.
