Fast depleting natural resources have made

Fast depleting natural resources have made
us conscious of the true value of Nature. It
is very easy for you to understand the value
of a Tree for the cost of its wood, but only
a Natural Capitalist can understand how
valuable that same Tree is for oxygen, shelter
and habitat. This ‘Tree’ is our natural capital.
With this in mind, Saevus and YES
BANK, supported by the Central Board of
Secondary Education, is proud to present
the Natural Capital Olympiad. This
Olympiad is about science, geography,
general knowledge, mental ability and a
whole lot of green fun and challenge.
As leaders of tomorrow,
there is a strong need for
us to be environmentally
conscious and
responsible towards
preserving our Natural
Capital.
Put your nature quotient to
the test - Think, Assimilate
and Logically reason as you
attempt each round of this
Olympiad.
