Earth Day 2011

Earth as a home for animals was the theme of this year's Earth Day -- "Let's Go Wild!". It was the perfect time to learn more about local conservation, how we can all come together to lend a helping hand and appreciate the planet and the amazing wild life it supports.

The Lighthouse Marina Resort together with organizations who supports animal preservation (National Geographic Channel, Wildlife in Need Philippines, Ocean Adventure with Philippine Marina Mammal Stranding Network, Zoobic Safari, El Kabayo, and Subic Bay Ecology) all came together to encourage people to learn more about our world and the incredible animals that live here.

There were several exciting activities that happened that day. For the indoor activities we had yoga sessions, animal face painting and henna tattoo, Sea Lions Artworks display, a special film viewing of the Science of Great Migrations and animal workshops with the following topics: Living with Wildlife by Representative from WIN and How to Rescue a Dolphin or Whale by Representative from Ocean Adventure.

For the outdoor activities, guests had several booths where guests can have their photos taken with different animals, ride trained horses around the beach, and check out the equipment display used by PMMSN for rescuing dolphins and other marine mammals. Other activities includes: Trampoline show, Free Paddle Boarding by Island Surf Adventures, Free use of Kayaks and many more.

There was a fundraising dinner conducted by WIN in the evening with live band performance, fire dancers and drum-beaters. To cap the night a bonfire was lit to symbolize a great Earth Day Celebration as well as a commitment to treat animals with respect.
