The first Children’s Crocodile Fair was held in Malataj village, in the lush Charotar region 20 km from Anand, India’s milk capital. As many as 135 children between 11 and 15 years old took part.
The theme of the fest was ‘My village, my crocodiles.’ The day was full of games and competitions specially designed for children.
The fest was organised by the Voluntary Nature Conservancy (VNC), locally called the Vidyanagar Nature Club.
“Children are never involved in crocodile fests. We believe in educating them to live harmoniously with wildlife. . .
