In celebrating the 60th years of The World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines (WWF-Philippines) they supported the action called “Bid for Nature” and brings different people together online.
WWF Philippines made local artist, arts and fashion enthusiasts, and environmental advocates in an online auction for the environment.
When WWF was found in 1960 their mission are always to build a future where humans and nature thrive has stood the test of time and continues to inspire millions.
After a lot of years, WWF is being supported by nearly 100 countries and over 35 million people worldwide, and have used its position to advocate with others for changes needed in response to the world’s biggest challenges.
Along with WWF’s 60th anniversary, they’ve launched Bid for Nature online auction, a joint initiative with Gavel & Block by Salcedo Auctions and Bid for Future with Tatler Philippines as a media partner and ComCo Southeast ASi as communication partner.
Here’s some sample of artworks that will be available in the online auction,
The goal of the online auction is to raise funds in support of WWF-Philippines’ local conservation efforts and to promote ‘renewing’ the lifecycle of items.
WWF-Philippines Executive Director Katherine Custodio said, “For 60 years, WWF has been a global voice of nature. The challenges we face today require us to respond with even more urgent action and with the scale required to change the ending. The pandemic has highlighted our broken relationship with nature and makes the case for a reboot and reprioritization like nothing else. With the power of art to evoke emotion and a response, we believe that art plays a big role in raising environmental awareness and challenging current norms.”
Above all she said that they hope artists, art enthusiasts and environmental advocates can work together with them in building a resilient and sustainable future for the country
