MYSORE: Depleting natural resources calls for instant conservation measures. Realising the need to create awareness among students, the Mysore zoo conducted a 26-week training in wildlife management and conservation of nature. This annual event of the Mysore Zoo Youth Club concluded here on Sunday.

The student-members from 29 institutions were given an opportunity to monitor behaviour of animals and were educated about saving wildlife.

BJ Hosmath, chief conservator of forest and member secretary, Zoo Authority of Karnataka, said, "Every natural resource on earth is drying up. Every person must at least plant a sapling in front of their houses. The depleting ground water level is a great threat."

Wildlife photographers Krupakar and Senani, who recently won Wildlife Oscar, called upon youths to protect nature.
