Renowned artists from the Philippines have convened and showed their support for the environment by joining an auction launched by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in celebration of its 60th founding anniversary.
Since 29 April 1961, members of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) have tirelessly dedicated their lives to preserve wilderness and reduce human impact on the environment. The organisation has been known for its projects and case studies like freshwater conservation in China, India, and Pakistan; yellowfin tuna improvement project in the Philippines; reducing global greenhouse gas emissions; and more.
The WWF is active in nearly 100 countries and supported by over 35 million people who value the organisation’s ideals. In 1997, its local counterpart, WWF Philippines, was born in hopes of working with the government, business sectors, and local communities to stop and eventually reverse the accelerating degradation of the country’s environment.
To celebrate 60 years of the organisation’s existence, the WWF Philippines, together with its partners Gavel & Block by Salcedo Auctions, ComCo Southeast Asia, Bid For The Future , ambassador Pia Wurtzbach, and Tatler Philippines, launched the Bid For Nature auction that features curated paintings, prints, vintage items, and other art and fashion pieces made by renowned local artists.
