The Philippines is one of the richest ecosystem in the world, both in marine and terrestrial, and sad to say, we are also a biodiversity hotspot as both plants and animals are threatened as natural habitat are destroyed by modernization.
Come and join us in learning how we can protect and sustain our natural habitat. Bring children and students as they can see here in the city live plants and animals which are usually found only in remote forests or provinces.
