Grow Plant Love Development Exercise November 5th - 7th, 2023, Pakke Tiger Reserve, Seijosa
Grow Plant Love
Grow plant love aims to create a manual addressing plant awareness disparity (PAD) by fostering an empathetic relationship with plants. The manual will include scientific research, observations, art, and nature education combined with hands-on experiential learning, to make children more attentive towards and foster positive attitudes towards plants. The goal is to bridge the gap in existing plant education resources by looking at not just “information” but also “feelings” and encourage a sense of "companionship" with plants, ultimately contributing to plant conservation efforts in the Global South. The first meeting was held in Pakke Tiger Reserve between 5th-7th November to develop exercises and activities around a proposed manual and we hope to pitch this idea to funding agencies to support this work.
