WCN has been conducting different Awareness Programs like Community Outreach Programs, Radio programs, and Development and distribution of different education materials for the community on wildlife issues since its establishment.

WCN has also conducted religion-based awareness activities targeted to the mountain communities to deter them from their involvement in Wildlife crime.
