Here’s a chance to be a wildlife scientist for a day without spending years studying the subject. If birdwatching gets you excited, or you find yourself curious about an unusual insect, this could be your calling. The Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) is giving nature enthusiasts an opportunity to experience the work of wildlife researchers with Be a Scientist for a Day.

The fun lies in learning to read nature like a scientist. Participants will find out how researchers count bird populations and track mammals through footprints and other signs of their presence.
