Greater action needed
Excerpt
Do you know that June 5 is World Environment Day? It is the United Nations’ principal vehicle for encouraging awareness and action for the protection of our environment and biodiversity conservation. We need to take greater action to protect the delicate ecological balance between man, animal, and nature. It is incumbent upon us humans, who are the stewards of the Earth, to be more responsible as most of our actions are the very threats to our ecology. The degradation of Boracay Island is a classic example.
