Environmental education at the secondary school level often remains confined to theoretical knowledge, resulting in a disconnect between students and their local ecological realities.

Using a mixed-methods approach involving pre- and post-intervention assessments, teacher feedback, and student reflections, the study found a significant increase in both environmental literacy and proactive civic engagement among participants. The findings suggest that contextualized, experiential learning models are highly effective in cultivating ecological consciousness in developing regions.
