17 June 2010, Chandigarh (India). Conservation Himalayas has strengthened its efforts to save Asian elephants and Bengal tigers in Uttarakhand State, India by carrying out a series of educational programmes.
To halt the loss of wildlife and forest biodiversity, and to celebrate the International Year of Biodiversity, the organization has installed Save-Tiger signage boards in the main tourist areas to raise public awareness of the tiger population in India, and has implemented three conservation educational programs

Program (1)
focused on the education of the poverty stricken, illiterate, labour class communities on tiger and elephant conservation.

Program (2)
titled Tiger Awareness Education, targeted school children as the pillar of nature protection. In 2010, nearly 120 children and 8 teachers of the Gyano Udaya Public School in Sanch village, Kotdwar participated in two events to celebrate the International Year of Biodiversity
