ArkAsia Foundation Goes to School:
Inspiring Conservation Awareness at SMPN 10 Bintan
On 30 January 2026, Arkasia, in collaboration with the Conservation and Natural Resources Center of the Riau Islands (BKSDA Kepulauan Riau), successfully held an educational outreach activity at SMP Negeri 10 Bintan as part of the Arkasia Goes to School program.
The activity carried the theme “Peduli Konservasi” (Caring for Conservation) and aimed to introduce students to the importance of protecting wildlife and preserving natural ecosystems. A total of 30 students enthusiastically participated in the session.
During the program, representatives from Arkasia and BKSDA delivered an interactive presentation covering topics such as:
What conservation is and why it matters
The role of young people in protecting nature
The impact of human activities on wildlife and the environment
The session encouraged students to think critically about their daily habits and how small actions—like reducing waste, respecting wildlife, and caring for their surroundings—can make a big difference for the future of the planet.
The students showed great enthusiasm, actively asking questions and sharing their thoughts about environmental issues. This positive response reflected their curiosity and growing awareness of conservation values.
Through Arkasia Goes to School, Arkasia hopes to continue building environmental responsibility among young generations. By starting with education, Arkasia believes that today’s students can become tomorrow’s guardians of nature
