Why do students participate in the Envirothon competition?

Participation in the Envirothon competition allows students to enhance their understanding of environmental sciences, which is the main objective of the program. The competition is designed to engage students in various topics related to environmental issues, such as ecology, forestry, wildlife, and soils. Through hands-on learning and team collaboration, participants gain practical knowledge and skills that are essential for addressing real-world environmental challenges. This experiential approach not only deepens their awareness of ecological concepts but also promotes critical thinking and teamwork.

While the competition does have elements of academic knowledge, its primary goal is not merely to test this knowledge in isolation but to apply it in practical scenarios. Through the Envirothon, students explore complex environmental issues from multiple perspectives, going beyond just urban issues to encompass broader ecological themes. This comprehensive focus prepares them to become responsible stewards of the environment.
