A special Seminar on "Introduction to Environmental Education and Biodiversity" at Indra Ganesan College of Education. Tiruchirappalli-Dt. (09.02.2018).

“Biodiversity in Education” is one of the new discipline come under the branch of conservation biology subject. There are many animals and plants currently under threats of human activities as indicated by IUCN Red List recently. In that list, coral reefs are included. Corals are a group of living creatures whose extinction rates are rising in every movement. Paramo is one of the beautiful tundra ecosystem in the World. Now, consider as sacred groves. And another kind of beautiful sacred grave is Monkey forest sanctuary in Indonesia. These are more valuable plants and animals occupied in that place. In marine ecosystem, number of living creatures are wondered. Example Leafy sea dragon is one of the beautiful deep sea animal. It creatures is just like leaf structure. Earth’s 70% surface covers ocean. This ocean have natural carbon. So it is called as Blue planet. Further, I have emphasized the importance of pedagogical techniques for biodiversity and environmental education. Here, infusion model and interdisciplinary model are recommended but domain selection is very important. Level one is an ecological foundations, level two is the conceptual awareness on biodiversity issues and values, level third is an investigation and evaluation processes and fourth level is action skills requires for training.
