This program has two main goals:
- Raising awareness in a sustainable way, in as many people as possible, of all ages and from all origins, in order to generate curiosity about Nature and make them realize how important it is. Indeed, we depend on Nature and its proper functioning. By realizing our impact, we can all act positively to counter the threats that Nature is facing.
- Generating concrete actions for the protection and conservation of Nature, such as an initiation on zero-waste, being consumer actors (choosing local and seasonal food for example), planting trees of native species or chosing a more eco-responsible consumption of water and electricity.
Our action: seek concrete solutions and proceed with local actions
In order to achieve these goals, ABConservation plans to implement several actions with our current local partners or by creating new partnerships.
Activities for teachers
Through these various training sessions, we want to raise awareness among a maximum of people (children, teenagers and adults) and thus ensure that environmental protection is taken into account for everyday actions and decisions, whether it is at home, at the market, at work, etc.

Activities for pupils and students
Activities with universities
In order to help universities become more eco-responsible, we are creating programs to encourage the reduction of electricity and water consumption. The participation and dedication of students, teachers, employees and administrative staff are key to ensure the sustainability of these programs.
These activities are, for now, taking place in two schools and universities of Puerto Princesa City, the Holy Trinity University and HOPE Christian School.
Activities for the general public
Through the screening of environmental films, we wish to promote awareness and discuss with the audience on various themes that resonate with the local context, ranging from deforestation to plastic pollution.
Stakeholders in the field: essential local partners
