The younger generation represents the inheritors of nature and the various impacts of current events. Therefore, the younger generation needs to have sufficient information and knowledge to continuously advocate for the importance of existing natural resources and biodiversity. Specifically, this pertains to human life and endangered fauna or biota, as well as critical habitats that serve as natural living spaces for these species.

In collaboration with WCS and the North Sulawesi Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA Sulawesi Utara), Almanustra endeavors, together with the younger generation at the elementary school level, to achieve this goal through the socialization activity aimed at raising awareness among students regarding protected fauna or biota and their crucial habitats. This activity took place on December 11-12, 2023, in four elementary schools located in West Likupang (SD GMIM Bahoi and SD Negeri Munte) and East Likupang (SD Inpres Kampung Ambon and SD GMIM 70 Likupang), North Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi.

This socialization activity raises awareness among the younger generation, particularly students, about the significance of crucial habitats that provide benefits not only to the wildlife within but also to human life. Students can also understand which animals or organisms fall into the protected category.
