Museums, environmental awareness, environmental issues, educational programmes, society.

As the world is changing toward globalization, various environmental issues are also increasing. Augmentation of transportation, urbanisation, coal-fueled power plants, burning of fossil fuels, wildfire, and ocean acidification are some of the causes of environmental degradation. These issues have adverse effects on animals, plants, and human beings. Environmental awareness must be the first factor that should be taken into consideration to resolve these problems. To create environmental awareness various conferences, conventions, and programmes are organized at international, national, and regional levels. Various projects and acts are also adopted to safeguard the environment. Environmental issues have also long been a topic in education to create awareness, especially among youngsters. Active learning techniques are necessary for environmental education to be more effective. Museums, as non-formal centres for education, create awareness effectively in fun-filled ways among different sections of society. Natural history museums, natural history sections, and some other sections in different museums are the ones which specifically made for environmental education. They create awareness through original specimens using dry or wet preservation techniques, various display methods, and different environment-related programs such as out-reach and in-reach programmes. Various sustainable development goals related to the environment are also interpreted in museums. Museums encourage people’s environmental knowledge, attitudes, abilities, and awareness, so that they can become capable problem-solvers and socially responsible citizens with a sustainable outlook on the environment. If today we do not pay attention to environmental education, the day is not far when living a disease-free life is possible. It is important to raise environmental consciousness and ensure that the next generation has the knowledge in order to take preventative measures. This paper focuses the role of museums in creating environmental awareness among people and tells how museums address different global environmental issues and interprets natural resources and biodiversity to different sections of society. Different in-reach and out-reach programmes through which museums create awareness are also highlighted. It is high time when the role and potential of museums in creating environmental awareness should be well recognized by the education system. As a result, more collaborative programmes between Museums and different educational institutions, including schools, colleges, and universities, should be planned.
