THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Wildlife enthusiasts in Kerala have reason to rejoice as the state throws open the gates of its national parks, tiger reserves, and wildlife sanctuaries with free entry from October 2 to 8, marking the celebrations of Wildlife Week 2025. <\/p>\n
The celebrations will include competitions and creative challenges as well to draw the younger generation into conversations on conservation.<\/p>\n
For students of government and government-aided schools and colleges, the week will double up as a platform to showcase their skills in pencil drawing, watercolour painting, essay writing in Malayalam, quiz contests, and elocution. <\/p>\n
While art contests are open to students from lower primary to higher secondary, the essay, quiz, and elocution will bring together participants from high school to college levels.<\/p>\n
In Thiruvananthapuram, the Social Forestry Complex at PTP Nagar will set the stage for the programmes, beginning on Wednesday at 11am, with a pencil drawing competition, followed by watercolour painting and essay writing. <\/p>\n
The following day, the quiz will test quick wits in the morning, while the stage will be ready for eloquence in the afternoon. Participation will be through spot-registration. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Wildlife enthusiasts in Kerala have reason to rejoice as the state throws open the gates of its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[64,63,128,338,122530],"class_list":{"0":"post-194156","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-science","11":"tag-wildlife","12":"tag-wildlife-week-2025"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
