Description

In contribution to Earth Week, we, the Rotaract Club of Bangalore JP Nagar, conducted a plastic cleaning drive in Bannerghatta Reserve Forest with the assistance of the Karnataka Forest Department on 27th April, 2024. This project was done in collaboration with Friends of Wildlife, an NGO dedicated to wildlife conservation. The team from PTC Ltd, a computer software company, joined us for the event. They made an in-kind contribution of ₹26,150 by providing gloves, trash bags, refreshments, and breakfast to all the participants of the project. A total of 164 members and volunteers from Rotaract Clubs, Friends of Wildlife, and PTC joined us on the drive as we divided into small groups to clean the plastic that had been discarded in the forest. Forest guards, the range forest officer, and the district forest officer also joined us, offering words of encouragement and support.
