Taking nature education to 6,000 rural libraries
Shaping tomorrow's nature champions, today!
In a world impacted by climate change and biodiversity loss, we choose to inspire hope in our children. Together with the Karnataka Government, Early Bird is on a mission to equip 1000 rural libraries with nature education kits, empowering over 40 Lakh children with the means to know and love the natural world.
How can you help?
Donate ₹1,500 to provide a Prakrutiya Pettige (nature education kit) for a library, and help train librarians to become nature educators.
What’s in the kit?
Flashcards on common birds of Karnataka
Pocket guide to local birds
Bird and plant posters for classrooms
Games and activity sheets on nature
