World Environment Day serves as a global platform for raising awareness and taking action on pressing environmental issues. This year's theme, "Eco Restoration for Ecosystem Health," resonates deeply with EcoTraining's core values of conservation and environmental stewardship. As custodians of our planet's natural heritage, EcoTraining recognises the urgent need to restore and protect our ecosystems for the well-being of current and future generations.
"World Environment Day provides an opportunity for us to unite with people around the world in our shared commitment to protecting the planet. Together, we can make a difference. We believe that education is the key to fostering a deeper connection with nature and inspiring positive change," says EcoTraining’s managing director, Anton Lategan.
