Set in the sylvan surroundings of the NDA academy at Pune the cadets, also signed-off large banners advocating their support for tiger conservation.

WWF-India also organised an exhibition which showcased some very interesting photographs . This was also well received by the cadets. Later during the day the film”Truth about tigers” by Shekar Dattatri was also screened.

This is a very good effort as guardians of our nation the cadets through these initiatives will also learn and have concern about the country's natural wealth.

This is a great initiative involving the young defence cadets at NDA Pune who will be able to contribute meaningfully towards conservation in future in their respective places of postings.

This is great. WWF has earlier organised its Annual Nature Leadership Camp at NDA Khadakvasla and it used to be a great place to camp. We were called chidiya dekhne wale.

This is a nice initiative from the cadets. I think wwf should involve more citizens so that common or ordinary man can take part and raise their awareness.
