This year theme for World Environment Day is 'Go Wild for Life' which signifies the importance of caring for animals , being kind to them , abstaining from killing them and not abusing them in any manner. The theme aims to spread awareness about the serious issue of wild life trade by conveying message 'Stop wild life trade'. As President of youth community group 'Students for the Earth' I organized an online contest to spread this message through this contest. Rules were as follows, To participate:
After registering it with WED2016 site, I launched it on 5th June. I was amazed to see such a great response to this event. I got 65 entries for this contest means 65 students took pains, clicked picture with anima l(or may be took out their old picture with animal ) and posted with their message in line with this year WED theme. I was happy that this contest served it's purpose of spreading awareness about need to stop illegal wild life trade, need to protect animals, need to stop animal abuse of any kind. I can't post all the entries but am posting few of them. I ran this contest from 5th-8th June and announced the results on 9th June. Response was so overwhelming and to inspire people, I decided to award to 6 winners rather than 3. Winning entries were uploaded to share with people. I personally NEVER buy any product which is made out of animal abuse. I dislike the concept of circus where animals are used to entertain humans because in these circus , animals are being ill-treated and injected with chemicals to over-perform in such events. Idon't eat meat as I am 100% vegetarian. I know these habits of mine or this contest may be small effort from me but it may be small at individual level but if all of us observe this, if all of us boycott animal abuse/wild life trade then collectively it will make a big difference, it will bring a big positive transformation and will put an end to wild life trade because if no demand , this industry will not survive.

Sorry for my late response! Congratulation for organizing the campaign for such good cause! And it's a good idea to spread the news on this site so that many other living in all different parts of the world can see what's being done in the other part of the world. Thanks!

Arushi, it looks like you have planned something great! I also feel happy to see a lot of people having participated at your campaign. These kinds of events should be held at other regions as well. Thanks for sharing and have a splendid day!

WOW, ARUSHI! You're always on a different level when it comes to promoting environmental awareness! You're the best! Anyway, I just suddenly became curious, are you specializing in Wildlife or any environmental science - related degree program? Because the way you implement these projects are basically, 'LIKE A PRO'! :D
