Char and Nature is a youth-led, child-focused project in Subarnachar that connects young learners with their ecosystem through creative biodiversity lessons, storytelling, and hands-on activities to evoke love and empathy for nature.

When children learn to see nature not as something to use, but as something to relate to, everything changes.

A child who sees a tree only for its wood may grow up to cut it when needed.
But a child who understands that the tree protects their home from tides, holds the soil together, and shelters birds and insects, will grow up to protect it.

This shift is not small. It shapes how future decisions are made.

Instead of asking, “What can I take from this?”
they begin to ask, “How do we care for each other?”

For example, rather than saving a tree because it is “useful,” children begin to see how trees, soil, water, birds, and people are all connected, how they need each other to survive.
And from there, the goal is no longer to protect one resource, but to protect the whole forest.

This is how long-term change happens.
Not through rules, but through relationships.

The Nature Culture Fellowship is an initiative to explore this shift, in 2025 we co-created this initiative with the Global Youth Biodiversity Network and CEESP bringing together 65 fellows from 53 countries in a shared learning journey, with 37 community-led projects emerging from it, each exploring how relationships, culture, and lived experience can create the long-term transformation needed in conservation by shifting mindsets from managing resources to caring for relationships that sustain life.

If Shanjida is able to continue this work, it is likely that the children she is working with will grow up not simply seeing forests and char lands as resources to use, but as relationships they are part of - living systems they feel connected to, and responsible for protecting and sustaining.

Thank you to the support of Synchronicity Earth and other funders and partners for making this project a reality.
