Kids for Conservation

Port Moresby Nature Park education program coordinator, Ishimu Bebe, says students who undergo their education environment programs during school excursions and the holidays have learnt a lot. 

Bebe says their education environment programs, like Kids for Conservation, World Wildlife Week and Culture Week, were developed specifically to help children learn about plants and animals.

The programs aim to inspire, educate and foster this learning and the appreciation of the native flora and fauna that PNG has.

The program is designed to keep kids busy and active during the school holiday period. It will run from April 19-20.

Education Supervisor, Amos Babaga said the program is for children aged 7-16 years and will be run in two groups,  one for ages 7-11yrs and the other for ages 12-16 years.

He said the aim of the program is to teach children what it takes to run a conservation-based recreational facility.

He said this will see activities such as behind the scene tours, learning about the Parks conservation programs as well as other fun games and craft activities.
