We develop educational and learning programmes on marine biodiversity and ecosystem services. In 2016, we worked with GIZ India for designing field-learning material and field-based activities for IFS officer trainees as part of the ‘Training programme on Coastal and Marine Biodiversity and Protected Area Management’ at Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The training programme used a competencies-based curriculum and was conducted using a participatory training approach and innovative learning methods, developed by GIZ India in association with Earthwatch Institute India.
