How to preserve our forest?
The Junior Chamber International – Iloilo Ilang-Ilang, Inc, organized a
series of concerts as fund-raising projects to come up with the amount
needed to buy the seedlings. The event last March 20, 2013 Jazz
Concert, entitled, “Jazzing up our Forest Part 1” located at the Westown
Hotel, Smallville Complex, Iloilo City was truly a successful one. The Junior Chamber
International – Iloilo Ilang-Ilang, Inc. in line with its goal to create
an impact in the development and rehabilitation of the environment, and
to aid in addressing the current environmental issues affecting the
society, initiated a joint project with the Haribon Foundation to
address the recent floods, flash floods, landslides and other calamities
as a result of our already deteriorating natural resources and receding
forests.
They are currently working with different clusters throughout the country as they work toward restoring the rainforests. These clusters, composed of LGUs, academic institutions, government agencies, NGOs, POs and individuals, are committed to “rainforestation” and ensuring that ecological benefits from forests are enjoyed by both Filipinos of today and tomorrow, and that our wildlife - our natural heritage will live on and I believe this is a latest good news for everyone of us.
In this regard, the Junior Chamber International – Iloilo Ilang-Ilang, Inc, envisions becoming a part of this “rainforestation” and restoration of our dying forests. Our part in support of the event is to donate, nurture and adopt seedlings! One seedling costs P200.00 and its our goal to plant at least 500 seedlings in one hectare.
