The Delhi government plans to offer free forest and wildlife conservation training to the general population and establish a forest training institute in conjunction with the Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Combating Climate Change. The program aims to increase public awareness of conservation activities in the nation's capital.
The Forest and Wildlife Department has already formed a four-person training cell, and an application website is being developed. The training program will be adaptable and include all forest and biodiversity legislation and conservation efforts. The overarching goal is to engage the general population in supporting forest and animal conservation activities in Delhi.
A forest training institute is badly needed, according to the department, to train people for "green jobs" such as wildlife biologists, nature guides, plantation managers, tree physicians, arborists, and gardeners. The institute will also teach new recruits and improve the abilities of forest employees. "We want to create green jobs for Delhi's youth while also training and upgrading our forest staff," said a Forest and Wildlife Department official. "We will also hold training classes for development and enforcement agencies to ensure that various laws, such as the Indian Forest Act, Forest Conservation Act, and Wildlife Protection Act, among others, are effectively implemented."
An internship project will also be developed to engage the youth in the protection and revitalization of Delhi's green spaces. "We believe that the youth of Delhi have a significant role to play in protecting and revitalizing our city's green spaces," added the official. The Delhi government's conservation efforts are being lauded as a positive step towards ensuring the city's long-term viability. "It's encouraging to see the Delhi government taking such proactive conservation measures," said environmentalist Naina Singh. "We must collaborate to protect our environment and ensure a greener future for our children."
