Bangkok, Thailand. On 27 March Scandinavian airways took the initiative to present their green ideals to a select group of customers. The Thai branch of this airline invited 30 members of various Scandinavia women’s groups based in Bangkok. The 30 women under the guidance of PATT staff headed down to the lungs of Bangkok, the one remaining green location, the area known as Phra Prahdang. This community forest area is slowly but surely being reforested and restored in an attempt to improve the biodiversity of this important area. The enthusiastic group planted a total of 75 tree’s which added to the ever increasing tally of trees being planted at this site. PATT frequently brings school groups and companies to this site. It’s close proximity to the city provides the tree planters with a unique perspective of Bangkok and shows how reforestation projects can be initiated in the most unlikely places.

Philippines. The main event for the launching was held in Manila, Philippines through the Run for One Life, One Earth which was participated by about 300 participants and 10 trees were planted as a ceremonial symbol. Around 200 trees will be planted soon at the Payatas Ecological Park.
