On February 23, 2025, students of B.Sc. 2nd Semester and B.Sc. 4th Semester (Zoology Major) embarked on an exciting field trip to Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Assam, India. The trip was organized as part of their environmental studies curriculum to provide them with firsthand experience of biodiversity conservation and wildlife habitats. The students were accompanied by faculty members, arrived early in the morning and began their excursion with an exhilarating jeep safari through the park’s dense grasslands and wetlands. They were fortunate to witness the famed one-horned rhinoceros, elephants, swamp deer and various bird species, including pelicans and storks. Park guides provided insightful information about Kaziranga’s rich ecosystem, the challenges of poaching, and conservation efforts.
Apart from the safari, students visited the Kaziranga National Orchid and Biodiversity Park, where they learned about rare orchids and medicinal plants native to the region. The trip concluded with an interactive session with forest officials, who explained the significance of sustainable tourism and wildlife protection.
This educational tour not only enhanced the students’ understanding of environmental conservation but also left them with unforgettable memories of Kaziranga’s stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife. It was a truly enriching experience, inspiring many to support conservation efforts in the future.
