The 31st year of the Mysuru zoo youth club activities, meant for children in the age group of 12 and 18 years, was inaugurated here on Sunday, July 23.
The concept of Mysuru zoo youth club had its genesis in the 1980s and 1990s and has emerged as the flagship programme of the institution to foster love for environment, nature and wildlife among the new generation.
The activities for the year 2023 was inaugurated by B. Ramesh, Commissioner of Police, and he urged the children to immerse themselves in the various activities of the youth club and learn from nature. He said species were being driven into extinction and mankind was the root cause of the rapid rate at which floral and faunal species were becoming extinct.
