(SACON, 2017) Chandran, R; Azeez, P A
In the last couple of decades world over there is serious deliberations on the need for pro-active participation of the public, various social segments, and persons from various walks of life in conservation of the Environment and on identifying effective strategy to accomplish that. It is well recognized that conviction, at the grass root level, on the cruciality of environmental conservation is essential for wide and involved participation of public. Environmental education (EE), especially among the youngsters, to a great extent fulfills that need and facilitates educated decision-making among the public on issues related to environment. Thus, the main goal of EE is developing a world population that is aware of and concerned about the environment and its associated problems and which has the knowledge, skills, attitudes, motivation and commitment to work individually and collectively toward solutions of current problems and prevention of new ones.
