A calendar of events involving everything from forests to seas, from animals to the air. Days of celebration and action are mere reminders of what we should be doing every day: learning and practicing more sustainable and efficient ways of living for the sake of ourselves and our planet.
Events both in the Philippines and all around the world are taking place for our environment. Don’t miss out on the next opportunity to act and join the movement. Know of an event? Let us know and we’ll post it here. Email us atharingibon@haribon.org.ph!
