The Million Hectare Walk 2009
Marathon enthusiasts, environmentalists, here’s another one for you…
The Million Hectare Walk 2009 (MHW-2009) aims to raise awareness and resources for the Rainforestation Organizations and Advocates to 2020 (ROAD to 2020), an environmental conservation movement to restore one million hectares of our rainforests using native tree species by year 2020. Now on its third year, the MHW-2009 will be held on Sunday, November 22, 2009 from 6:00 am to 11:00 am at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Nature Center in Quezon City. There will be two routes, the 300-meter path and the 1.5-km path.
The Million Hectare Walk in November 2007 and November 2008 helped us reach out to more than 1,000 individuals to raise awareness on biodiversity and forest protection through lectures, discussions and presentations. We were able to network with various sectors that enabled us to plant more than 10,000 native trees to address habitat loss and climate change.
