On last Thursday (11/10), WWF-Indonesia's Panda Mobile had the opportunity to visit Gemala Ananda Elementary School, Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta to deliver education to 4th grade students about biodiversity.

When the break time ended, the Panda Mobile activity began with two activity posts opened simultaneously. The students of class 4A rushed straight to the presentation post and class 4B to the game post. At the presentation post, the activity began by introducing umbrella animals to the students. Umbrella species are species that support the success of conservation efforts of other species that form an ecological unit. The existence of umbrella animals is very important as a marker or indicator that the habitat is still complete or intact. Species that are included in the umbrella species category and are the focus of WWF-Indonesia's conservation are elephants, rhinos, orangutans, tigers, whale sharks, and sea turtles. The students were very enthusiastic in listening to the information about biodiversity.

At the end of the presentation, Panda Mobile volunteers asked the students, "How can we keep umbrella animals and other endangered animals from becoming extinct?" Various answers emerged. Some answered, "Not destroying the forest, sis, because the forest is the home of animals. If the forest is destroyed, they don't have a home, poor thing," said Sarah, one of the students in class 4A.

In the game post, the students played cranklek. There are two cranks brought by the Panda Mobile team, namely "Engklek Orangutan" and "Engklek Harimau". In this game, besides being able to play, students are also invited to find out facts about orangutans and tigers. One example is the fact that orangutans not only like fruits, but also like to eat insects such as ants.

The Panda Mobile activity at Gemala Ananda Elementary School ended with a group photo session and the presentation of an award certificate for the WWF-Indonesia Panda Mobile. Big smiles appeared on the faces of each student.
