Nature Conservation Day 2020: In a bid to promote conservation, raise awareness and encourage sustainability, every year World Nature Conservation Day is observed on July 28.

World Nature Conservation Day: Five steps can we take

• Let us encourage community participation in protecting, conserving and sustainable management of things we use every day.

• Discourage wastage of food, water and items of regular use.

• Switch off lights, fans and air conditioners when we leave the room.

• Close the tap properly after brushing or washing hands. Every drop counts and many neighbourhoods today realise that at the peak of summer when we face water scarcity.

• Rain water harvesting during the monsoon season and composting the daily vegetable peels can go a long way in developing a self-sufficient and sustainable life. Those of us who have a green patch can try growing herbs and vegetables of daily use.
