In India, NGOs have played a key role in producing print and audio-visual materials for non-formal environmental education in schools and other institutions of learning. For instance, the Center for Environmental Education has produced a wide range of books and audio-visual packages for the benefit of teachers and students. They have also produced television programmes that have been successful in raising environmental awareness at all levels and drawing attention to the illegal poaching of tigers, rhinoceros, and other endangered species.
