The Green Lion
💼 What the programme involves
The province of Palawan is located in the Mimaropa region and is the largest province in the country, abundant with wildlife sanctuaries, marine reserves and world heritage sites. Being the location of Palawan Island, one of the most biodiverse islands in the Philippines, the area has one of the most beautiful seascapes in the world receiving much local interest for conservation.
Our hope through this project is to conserve mangrove plantations and reverse the trend of deteriorating mangrove sites, which has seen a rapid decrease during recent years.
This can realistically only be achieved through the education of younger generations, combined with the continual physical work of planting new mangroves.
That's why we'll be asking you to serve as a coastal barrier, slowing storm surge and reducing beach erosion, cleaning the beaches, and encouraging environmental conservation through training sessions with children.
This programme is perfect for you if you have a good level of physical fitness and enthusiasm and a passion for making a change!
