Participants are invited to the Online Quiz Competition 2024 on Wildlife Week by Bombay Natural History Society. The last date of participation is October 10, 2024.
The Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS), founded on 15 September 1883, is one of the largest non-governmental organisations in India engaged in conservation and biodiversity research. It supports many research efforts through grants and publishes the Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society. Many prominent naturalists, including the ornithologists Sálim Ali and S. Dillon Ripley, have been associated with it.
The BNHS logo is the great hornbill, inspired by a great hornbill named William, who lived on the premises of the Society from 1894 until 1920, during the honorary secretaryships of H. M. Phipson until 1906 and W. S. Millard from 1906 to 1920. The logo was created in 1933, the golden jubilee year of the Society’s founding.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF& CC), Government of India, had selected the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) as an EIACP (Environmental Information, Awareness, Capacity Building, and Livelihood Programme) Resource partner on Avian Ecology.
Since its inception the focus of EIACP has been on providing information to decision makers, policy planners, scientists and engineers, research workers, etc. all over the country. As avian ecology is a broad-ranging, multi-disciplinary subject, a comprehensive information system on it would necessarily involve effective participation of the concerned institutions/ organizations and all interested individuals in the country that are actively engaged in work relating to different subject areas of avian ecology or environment.
On the occasion of “Wildlife Week (02nd – 08th October, 2024)”, the EIACP Programme Centre (PC), Resource Partner (RP) on Avian Ecology at the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS-EIACP) is organizing an “Online Quiz Competition”.
Kindly note that certificates will not be provided for this competition.
