Iza
Calzado tapped as Haribon Foundation’s Ambassador
Haribon
Foundation, the country’s pioneer environmental organization, has tapped multi
– awarded artist, Iza Calzado, to become one of its ambassadors, tagged as Haribon
Ambassadors for Conservation (HAC). Iza joins Haribon’s roster of celebrity
ambassadors in its vision of taking the lead in caring for nature with people –
for the people.
The
organization hopes that with Iza’s help, Haribon’s advocacy will be embraced by
more Filipinos thru donations, membership and volunteer sign – ups, and generate
support for ROAD to 2020, Haribon’s flagship campaign, a movement committed to
restore one million hectares of
rainforests by year 2020. ROAD stands for Rainforestation Organizations and
Advocates.
According
to Maria Belinda E. de la Paz, Haribon’s Officer in Charge, “Iza is the perfect
example to all in pursuing biodiversity conservation, and taking action to
improve the country’s natural resources”.
Although
Iza has heard of Haribon Foundation in the past, it was this year that she
became officially a member of Haribon Foundation.
“I became interested in Haribon this
year and since I've began to pursue a more active lifestyle, Haribon's
activities are in line with the shift in my lifestyle. It is also a great way
for me to encourage people to be more active, help the environment and prevent
extreme damage caused by calamities by preserving our natural habitat to the
best of our abilities”, Iza shared.
Iza follows Haribon on Twitter and Facebook to keep her updated
with the organization’s goings-on.
Calzado
is one of the most sought actresses and endorsers; she normally gets
invitations from different organizations seeking her endorsement, but Iza
admitted that Haribon was something that truly excites her, and she is very
much eager to do her part.
Added
Iza, “I think it is time that we do our share in raising awareness, and
educating them on how we could bring back our forests. I hope to contribute a
little something to Haribon Foundation”.
Iza
and Haribon hope to produce more green champions for the environment; dedicated
and committed individuals advocating the protection and conservation of the
environment.
