Documenting successful model for Environment Education
We at CERE ( The Centre for Environmental Research and Education )
are documenting successful models of environmental education with a
special focus on `school sustainability’ across India.
When schools become the very `grounds for sustainable living’ they
not only theoretically teach students about environmentally-sound
practices such as (i) waste management, including vermicomposting,
recycling, (ii) urban/city farming, (iii) water conservation and
rain water harvesting, (iv) greening public spaces and (v) energy
saving measures,vi) community service, but actually allow children
to follow these practices in reality on a day to day basis within
the portals of the schools.
CERE will compile the findings as a comprehensive guidebook for the
use of teachers and educationists in schools. These models will
provide schools with a myriad of ideas for the mandatory subject of
Environmental Education.
If you know of any school or educational institution that has
developed or practices any successful model of environmental
education, then CERE would like to learn more about that program.
The CERE research team could even make arrangements to visit that
school or institution and document the model in-situ.
It will greatly help us to spread the knowledge and disseminate
information to schools across the country. Your contribution will be
fully acknowledged in all our publications. Please contact or send
information to CERE at or to Kitayun Rustom

Bird extinction may impact Environment
WASHINGTON Dec 13, 2004 — About 10 percent of all bird species face extinction by the end of the century and 15 percent more are on the brink, according to researchers who say such extinctions would have a widespread impact on the environment, agriculture and human society.
“Important ecosystem processes, particularly decomposition, pollination and seed dispersal, will likely decline as a result” of the loss of bird species, said Cagan H. Sekercioglu of the Stanford University Center for Conservation Biology.
