SeaYouTomorrowCamp is an example of good initiative from the private sector that help reduce those negative impacts. In this camp, participating children will learn about the relationship between forests and the sea, environmental preservation, and sustainable usage of natural resources. They will also have a chance to dive to witness biodiversity of marine life and coral reef ecology that are habitats and food sources of various organisms. I believe this camp can contribute tremendously to their long-term consciousness in conservation of natural resources and understand that we need to protect our plant as it is the only one we have. I do not think it is not too late to act now. With high determination, we can achieve the goal together.”

“To fight global warming crisis, all sectors need to work together. We can begin from our business by reducing impacts to the environment, expanding good initiatives to the society and collaborating with partners to create environmental conservation network.
