Energy Workshop by Leaps and Bounds
Today with the finiteness of our resources more obvious than ever, it’s imperative to understand our energy usage – how we make it, store it, use it and how we can conserve it.
Taking Readings
The students learnt all about renewables, made vegetable batteries and worked with gadgets powered by ‘clean sources’ of energy. They measured the outputs given by solar panels in different conditions to understand how their E-Base works.
Ahoy, Third Pole E-Base!
On our second anniversary at the E-Base Pench, we would like to introduce our E-Base to the students at the Third Pole E-Base in Leh.
The Third Pole E-Base which was set up in August, 2013 is the third E-Base in the world. Once again, an E- Base set up in India! With an E-Base in Antarctica, two in India and many more in the pipeline around the world, a network of global environmental leaders connected through the E-Bases is no longer a distant dream.
Our students wished to virtually bring the students of Leh into their special green educational space and this is a shout out to all at the Third Pole E-Base on this very special day for all of us in Pench.
From one E-Base to another
The third E-Base in the world is incidentally set up, once again, in India. It’s time we connect the two! Thank you so much Robert Swan for this very personal message all the way from Ladakh to us, here at Conservation Wildlands.
There’s a whole lot of work to be done and we’re right behind you!

How to Eat Your Greens: Workshop on Nutrition by Ankit Pogula
With an organic garden up and running, we decided it was time to give the students an introduction to nutrition. With our fast paced lives and change in lifestyles, wholesome foods are slowly being nudged out of the picture.
Third Pole E-Base is live!

The third E-Base of the World, the Third Pole E-Base is now live! We would like to congratulate our friends up in Leh who managed to bring solar energy to the ‘Roof of the World‘
Children to the Rescue!: Sir Robert Swan
We do not inherit our planet from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. The way we live our lives will profoundly impact the lives of our children and decisions made today will influence the future of life on Earth. Therefore, it is our mission to build on this by informing, engaging and inspiring the next generation of leaders to take responsibility, be sustainable, and know that the time for action is NOW.
Inspiring students at the E-Base.
Back to school!
Shanti works as a cleaner at the Pench Tiger Reserve Interpretation Centre. When we first began conducting workshops at the E-Base, both her children who study in Khavasa School attended them.
Shanti trying her hand at the experiments
Busy with her own work, Shanti would pass us by at the E-Base or outside at the Turia Gate doing activities with the students. Perhaps, that’s when her curiosity arose and she started taking interest in what we had to offer. Never having completed her education, the workshops at the E-base captured her attention and soon later, we found Shanti standing at a distance listening and watching intently while we conducted workshops.
Trees Workshop by Leaps and Bounds
Through this workshop, the students learnt about the wonders of a tree. They learnt about the function of chlorophyll, and with a simple experiment using ink and carnations, they got a deeper understanding of the capillary movement in plants. By counting the rings on the bark of a tree, the students learnt how to estimate the age of a tree.
