This day is an important milestone for the Philippine
Network of Environmental Journalists (PNEJ) as it celebrates its second year of
existence in empowering local journalists to increase the quality and quantity
of environmental reporting.
PNEJ believes that World Environment Day (WED) 2012 is the
right time to imitate solutions on environmental issues and to advocate
partnership which will ensure our society enjoy a safer and more prosperous
future.
For the past year, PNEJ has proven its special role as
communicators to make the public better understand issues climate change,
destructive large-scale mining, illegal logig, biodiversity extinction, coral
reefs destruction and over-fishing, pollution, water and waste mismanagement
and other pressing environmental issues in the Philippines.
PNEJ would like to thank its supporters for believing in its
thrust and mandate in drumming up critical environmental issues as well as
empowering local journalists to report on various issues.
For the years ahead, PNEJ hoped to bring environmental
causes into the national spotlight through producing more in-depth reporting,
trainings for local journalists, learning trips for journalists to come up with
stories that tackles solutions, connecting with experts, the academe, local
government units and the businesses to promote sustainable and equitable
development.
Happy World Environment Day 2012 and Happy 2nd Anniversary
PNEJ!
