The First Green and Wild Expo Is Happening in Manila This November
Calling all nature enthusiasts and advocates!
The Green and Wild Expo is happening on November 20 to 21, 2019 at the SMX Aura, Taguig City. This two-day event is focused on the conservation of the Philippine natural environment, biodiversity, ecotourism, and bird photography.
Those who have a penchant for nature, its elements and preservation, are invited to attend and experience the highlights of this unique expo–the first of its kind in the country. Some of the highlights include:

Local and international experts in the field of conservation and ecotourism, as well as bird photographers, will conduct talks and lectures. The expo is a great venue not only for networking with other stakeholders in the field but most especially for knowledge-sharing.
Bird Cafe

Speaking of networking, there is an intended space provided for that purpose in the expo.
The Bird Cafe encourages attendees to meet, connect, brainstorm, and collaborate with people from different government agencies, clubs, non-government organizations, and companies who share the passion for the Philippine birds and the Philippine environment.
