Fancy Dress Competition on Endangered Species

by 

Ramagya students - Class 2

An Endangered species is a species which has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as likely to become extinct. Many nations have  laws that protect conservation-reliant species: for example, forbidding hunting, restricting land development or creating preserves. When an animal or species is termed endangered, they are either disappearing fast from the face of the planet or are very sparsely populated. Today most species of plants and animals become extinct because of habitat destruction (loss of living space to development or pollution), introduction of non-native organisms, and direct killing (over-harvesting, poisoning).

So, we opted for this topic (i.e. ENDANGERED SPECIES ) as a part of our ISA project to sensitize our students about the importance of  these species and to make them aware about how important it is  to maintain the planet's biodiversity, that it is the richness (variety) of animal and plant life, its abundance and wild habitats that keeps us all healthy and happy. The more species disappear, the more entire Eco-systems become vulnerable and would eventually fall apart as the links in the food chains become broken.

Brochure Making Activity by Ramagya students 

An endangered species is a type of organism that is threatened by extinction. Species become endangered for two main reasons: loss of habitat and loss of genetic variation.

 Dinosaurs, for instance, lost their habitat about 65 million years ago. The hot, dry climate of the Cretaceous period changed very quickly, most likely because of an asteroid striking the Earth. The impact of the asteroid forced debris into the atmosphere, reducing the amount of heat and light that reached Earth’s surface. The dinosaurs were unable toadapt to this new, cooler habitat. Dinosaurs became endangered, then extinct.

Human activity can also contribute to a loss of habitat.Development for housing, industry, and agriculturereduces the habitat of native organisms. This can happen in a number of different ways. 

The topic "Endangered Species" was chosen as the activity for the ISA project. With so many species at risk of extinction, the  project is working to help raise the public profile of the world's endangered species, through the emotive power of wildlife films and photos. The project hopes to engage people with the natural world. We will only succeed in rescuing species from the brink of extinction if people know about their plight, importance and value.

Endangered species are those considered to be at risk of extinction, meaning that there are so few left of their kind that they could disappear from the planet altogether. Endangered species are threatened by factors such as habitat loss, hunting, disease and climate change, and usually, endangered species, have a declining population or a very limited range.

Healthy Food vs. Junk Food

       Students of class I participated in Fancy dress competition on the topic Healthy Food vs. Junk Food. This topic made the students aware in an interesting & creative manner, the benefits of healthy food as against the health hazards related to unhealthy food of different countries like India, China, Italy, Japan & Australia etc. It also helped the students to develop their speaking and socio-emotional skills and group- cohesiveness.
