📌About the Event
The Wild Wisdom Global Challenge 2026 is the 19th edition of WWF-India’s flagship wildlife and environmental education challenge for school students. This year’s theme, “From the Coastline to the Seafloor: An Ocean Odyssey,” takes participants on an engaging exploration of marine life, ocean ecosystems, underwater adaptations, threats to ocean health, and conservation.
Through online quizzes, interactive learning resources, expert-led sessions, and multi-level competitions, students can strengthen their environmental awareness, critical-thinking abilities, and teamwork skills. The challenge is open to students from Classes 6 to 9 and progresses from school-level virtual quizzes to state, zonal, national, and international rounds.
