BUTTERFLY Campus

---

 The Butterfly Campus initiative aims to transform school grounds into vibrant ecological sanctuaries that nurture biodiversity while enriching the learning environment for students. Supported through CSR funding and implemented by the iNaturewatch Foundation, this project brings free, fully developed butterfly gardens to schools, especially in regions where green spaces are limited or underdeveloped.

By planting a diverse palette of butterfly-friendly native species across each campus, the initiative strengthens urban ecosystems, improves air quality, and fosters a deeper bond between children and the natural world. These gardens become living classrooms where students explore pollination, ecology, climate sensitivity, and the delicate balance of the environment.

Through awareness workshops, student perception surveys, and hands-on plantation activities, the Butterfly Campus program aims to ignite curiosity, cultivate environmental stewardship, and build long-term conservation values among young learners. Beyond ecological gains, the project enhances student wellbeing, reduces stress, and transforms school spaces into hubs of creativity, joy, and observation.

This initiative is far more than just planting gardens… it is about inspiring the next generation to heal the land, understand biodiversity, and carry forward a culture of ecological responsibility. Rooted in the vision of more sustainable cities and empowered young citizens, Butterfly Campus contributes meaningfully to global environmental goals.
