Here are few words of Mr.Safwan about his book.” I have named this “Qudrat Kahani” means “the tale of nature”. It is an outcome of my 15-year work. I may add that the important gap in our current knowledge is how to connect urban life style people with biodiversity protection. Many young people are not familiar with nature due to rapid growth of urbanization, these millions and millions young’s are becoming only consumers of natural resources. We do not even know the efficiency of three proposed theoretically ways to promote biodiversity education, namely inquiring learning, collaborative knowledge building, and their combination. The ambition of my life is to build stronger ties between the natural assets and children’s (especially students aged 7-15) as “pioneers of future”. It is a time to think, “A stitch in time saves nine”.  I, in no time, want to extend my fieldwork neglecting the geographical boundaries.
