PM SHRI GHS Morpirla celebrated World Wetlands Day with a series of activities aimed at creating awareness about the conservation and management of wetlands. As part of the programme, the school launched the Save Wetlands Campaign, highlighting the role wetlands play in protecting biodiversity and supporting ecosystems.
Students and teachers took the Wetland Mitra pledge, committing themselves to protect and preserve wetlands. To gain practical understanding, participants also visited a nearby wetland, where they learned about its ecological importance and the need for sustainable management.
The celebration included creative activities such as a poster competition, along with dance and singing performances, allowing students to express their understanding of wetlands in engaging ways. During the programme, students were also informed about 10 newly declared wetlands in Goa, helping them connect local environmental efforts with global conservation goals.
The event helped students better understand the importance of wetlands and encouraged them to take responsibility for protecting these vital natural resources.
