Abstract: Environmental education for the 21st century should adapt to the current need of society and the current technological landscape. Biodiversity may be at risk of extinction without environmental education understanding and appreciation. Experiential learning may be at the forefront in goals of pedagogy and andragogy. The paper looks at total immersion techniques and how to deliver them in environmental education since they are key to imparting sound environmental practice and sustainability. Sound environmental practice may be instrumental in saving the biophysical environment from swinging into irreversible damage and collapse. The toolkit in Environmental education should be constantly rejigged for optimum performance and impact. The task is to proffer responsible Environmental education action plans to all age groups with specific targets to interests of different age groups. Highest level of conservation and Environmental Education should be targeted to farm dwellers with low scores and training.
