Essay competition is a great way to encourage participants to think about conservation and do their bit to conserve wild life. I am very happy that such a competition was organised on 'World Elephant Day'. By rewarding the winning essays, winners' interest will be boosted in such issues and it will inspire others too. Thanks for sharing.

Alina, like what Joshua have said, I believe essay competition is a great way to promote children to learn about the environment. It is providing them a chance to write what they have learned. Thanks for sharing!

Awarding children is a good way to maintain their interest in environmental and earth issues. Elephants are threatened in Africa, and almost everywhere due to poaching. This was a good exercise - thanks for the report
