A Call for Volunteers

The Kalikasan People's Network for the Environment (Kalikasan PNE) is a national advocacy network

the struggle for the environment, thus putting the primacy of people's welfare in its core. It has led

environmental information, education and advocacy campaigns in the local, national and international

level.
