An essential part of life is being able to grow your own food and eat from your own land.

In the near future, if we do not learn how to harvest and bank seeds, we will be forced to consume GMOs. We must learn to harvest and bank seeds while we still can.

As part of our International Day for Biological Diversity commemoration, our learners were given a rare and unforgettable opportunity, to come face-to-face with one of nature’s most misunderstood creatures: snakes.

Through this hands-on learning experience, the children didn’t just learn about snakes, they learned to unlearn the myths. Fear was replaced with curiosity. Ignorance was exchanged for understanding. And in that moment, biodiversity became more than just a big word, it became personal. Because true environmental education is not just about planting trees; it’s about uprooting misconceptions, too.

In protecting our ecosystems, we must also protect the truth, every creature, even the slithering ones, plays a vital role in the balance of life.

We had the joy of hosting little ones from various Early Childhood Development Centres (ECDs) as part of our Schools-Environment Program, and what a beautiful reminder it was that the journey to a greener future begins with the smallest hands and the simplest lessons.

In our view, environmental education should start as early as yesterday. Biodiversity, clean air, healthy soil, waste separation, these aren’t "later" conversations. These are now conversations, and our children deserve to be part of them from the beginning. Because if we want a generation that protects the Earth, we must raise one that understands it.
