Story Telling – 2023
Story Writing & Narration for Youth & Adults
During the 2023 National Wildlife Week, we invited youth and adults to participate in a wildlife story telling contest.
The Wildlife Storytelling Contest was a platform for people to share captivating tales of their experience of Indian Wildlife, whether they had a remarkable encounter with India’s magnificent fauna or they wished to highlight crucial conservation initiatives, it was a chance for these stories to be heard and shared with like-minded people.
Storytelling is an art – while there are many forms of expression – story writing, narrative writing, blogging etc. The winners of this competition – made us a part of their story by taking us on an experiential journey, and although it was difficult for us to choose, these stories stood out amongst the rest.
