Global Yes to Conservation

The ecosystem is dependent on us for survival, and We must arise as intentional advocates of the environment. Humans are the causes of pollution, waste and disruption of biodiversity activities. Conservation means to protect, care and manage the Earth and its inherent resources for current and future generations. We have caused a lot of damages already. It is our responsibility to care for the planet, its resources and survival of all life for our future and collective well-being.
