The QNET Philippines Green Legacy is being built tree by tree to ensure we do our bit to make the world a better place for the coming generation. In case you missed it, QNET is practising RYTHM by planting a green legacy to address some of the problems caused by global warming and climate change. In the Philippines, QNET has teamed up with Fostering Education and Environment for Development (FEED) to grow, preserve, and protect the country’s biodiversity.
What Does The QNET Philippines Green Legacy Look Like?
In collaboration with Ecomatcher and FEED, QNET will help reforest over 9000 hectares of indigenous forests in the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. The QNET Philippines Green Legacy will not only grow tree species that will help with our communal biodiversity goals but will also help provide livelihood opportunities for local communities.
Our QNET Philippines Green Legacy project is part of our goal to build a global forest. You can read more about our initiatives in Dubai and East Africa to see what we are doing there to meet our sustainability goals. So far, we have planted 1,000 trees from four different species grown by five local planters.
