ECO WARRIOR OF THE MONTH!
Nawang
About Nawang
Nawang began his early schooling at Government Primary School (GPS), Landmark Colony, Ward 13, where his love for nature and the outdoors continued to grow. After successfully completing Class 4, he moved in 2026 to Government Middle School, Duncan, stepping into a new chapter of his learning journey.
An enthusiastic and active student, Nawang has participated in several drawing and speech competitions organized by the Nagaland Forest Department and Eco Warriors Nagaland during important occasions such as World Wildlife Week and World Environment Day. His participation reflects not only his confidence but also his deep interest in environmental awareness.
Beyond competitions, Nawang truly enjoys spending time outdoors — especially watching birds and observing nature around him. His curiosity, energy, and love for wildlife make him a wonderful example of a young Eco Warrior leading by action and inspiration.
About Nawang's Love For Birds
Nawang’s love for birds begins with the sunrise. Every morning, he wakes up early, quietly stepping into his backyard before the day grows busy. The first thing he does is place food out for his feathered friends on the Chikoo tree, making sure they have something to eat when they arrive.
With patience beyond his years, he then sits nearby and watches. He especially enjoys observing the many sparrows that flutter in, hopping from branch to branch, chirping, playing, and pecking at the grains he keeps for them. Their tiny movements, playful fights, and quick flights from branch to branch fill him with excitement and curiosity.
Using simple materials with creativity, Nawang designed his own bird-feeding pods. One feeder, carefully crafted and hung from the tree, serves as a sheltered feeding station where he places rice and grains. He has also arranged a sturdy plate on a branch where he keeps soft food and leftover rice for the birds. These thoughtful feeding spots have slowly turned his backyard into a lively little bird haven.
Nawang dreams that one day he will be able to identify many different bird species just by watching their colours, sounds, and behaviour. With the binoculars gifted to him, he has already begun looking more closely — and he hopes that in the future, with bigger and better binoculars, he can explore even more of the bird world around him.
A Letter to Eco Warriors Nagaland
Sweet Note:
Nawang reminds us that you don’t need a forest to be a conservationist — sometimes all it takes is a caring heart, a tree in your backyard, and a handful of grains. His gentle dedication shows that even the smallest hands can make a big difference for nature. We are proud of you, Nawang — may your mornings always be filled with birdsong and your dreams soar as high as the birds you love.
