Itanagar: The 32nd Ziro Bird Walk transformed Siikhe Lake into a living classroom on Sunday, bringing together curious students of Kids Quest School for a morning of discovery and conservation..According to an official report, the students, guided by wildlife filmmaker Millo Tako, traded their desks for binoculars, spotting everything from elegant Mallards to the elusive Cinnamon Bittern. They also learned about the delicate ‘web of life’ that sustains our wetlands.More than just a birdwatching session, the event carried forward a vision initially proposed by former deputy commissioner HP Vivek to nurture a lifelong bond between Ziro’s youth and the 40-plus migratory bird species that call the valley their winter home. The organizers of the event, Arunachal Pradesh Birding Club and Ziro Bird Walk, gifted each student a local English-Apatani pocket guide book and hold discussions about future dreams. They ensured that these young conservationists didn’t just see nature through a lens, but left with a deeper sense of responsibility to protect it.
