The second Animal Defenders event for the ages of 11 16 organized by the Otara Foundation saw the participation of over 180 animal defenders from many areas across the island. It was a morning of education and interaction to understand the importance of preserving our precious wildlife, forests and ending the cruelty towards all animals who share the planet with us. Children are the key to a better future and through programs such as this, the Otara Foundation hopes to contribute in making the future brighter for both animals and the environment.
The event concluded with the prize giving ceremony where 9 winners were chosen for the art competition on the theme “Life of the animals in the Zoo”
