PENANG : On 3rd of June 2023, in conjunction with Bulan Kelestarian USM, Team Biodiversity and Team Publicity from Kampus Sejahtera had collaborated with Kelab Penyayang USM to carry out the Nature Scavenger Hunt. The aim of this event was to raise awareness on the importance of mother nature by encouraging the participants to explore their outdoor space. The event also boosted participants’ observation skills and provided a platform for them to learn about biodiversity in a fun and relaxed way.
At 8:30am., participants started to gather at Tasik Harapan USM for registration. There were 23 participants who joined this event. They were divided into six groups and asked to record what they saw in nature by using App iNaturalist during the event.
At 11.00 am., the participants started to move back to Tasik Harapan after one and a half hour of search. The findings of each group were handed in. After finalizing the results and determination of the winners, the prizes were given to all winners.
The first prize was won by Team Yellow.
Second prize was won by Team Pink.
Third prize was won by Team Orange.
The event was ended by a closing speech given by Vice President of Kampus Sejahtera, Dina Safiyyah binti Varisai Mohammed.
Overall, the event has been conducted successfully with unfailing support and cooperation from all participants and committees. Hopefully all the participants can benefit from this event and have more interest in discovering biodiversity in the future.
