Wild Borneo, Malaysia
Why explore Nature with BNHS ?
BNHS, a membership-driven organization, has been promoting the cause of nature conservation for more than 130 years since 1883. The Society's guiding principle has always been that conservation must be based on scientific principles. Today a number of BNHS scientists are engaged in several nature conservation projects across India.
BNHS nature walks and camps are all about the wildlife and here members share their appreciation for nature and wildlife. Here is a perfect opportunity to develop hobbies like nature photography and bird-watching in the company of like-minded people and share knowledge with experts. BNHS programmes are specially designed to let seniors as well as youngsters enjoy the pursuit of Nature appreciation. And moreover, your participation in these activities help BNHS to generate the much-needed funds for the conservation of India’s biodiversity.
