EcoDictionary, the world’s first video-based environmental dictionary – vidtionary – by Babul NGO. This innovative online resource brings ever evolving environmental terminology to life through engaging videos, making complex concepts understandable in a simple way and accessible to all . Our mission is to educate and inspire individuals to take meaningful action to our planet and humanity.
Why EcoDictionary?
- Visual Learning: Each term is explained through concise videos, enhancing understanding and retention.
- Global Accessibility: Available online, EcoDictionary reaches a worldwide audience 24×7, breaking language and educational barriers.
- Continuous Updates: Regularly updated glossary with new terms and concepts, keeping you informed about the latest in environmental discourse.
- Avoids Confusion: Removes confusion between the usual word and new terms. Eg: Mouse – Rat or Input device? Tablet – medicine or Handheld computer.
Here are more reasons:
- People are not using hard-copy dictionaries but looking for information online.
- Being the youngest science, ‘Environment’ has many less known and unknown words.
- Most of these are compound words [eg. Climate Change] that are not available in regular dictionaries as single entries.
- Traditional dictionaries do not give meaning for these compound words.
- Most of the words sound familiar but assume a different meaning in the context of Environment.
Eg., Urban Heat Island. - Environment has many ‘concepts’ which are better explained by Audio Visual medium rather than mere text.
- In view of this there is an urgent need for a video format dictionary for ENVIRONMENT, made accessible to all.
- This reduces Environmental ignorance and pushes people to ACT towards Nature protection by spreading much needed awareness.
- Babul’s online EcoDictonary is paperless and helps protect environment.
- It is always with you whenever you go. No need to carry a book.
