Green Is Good! Run for the reforestation of Ipo Watershed
The UP Mountaineers, through its Environment Committee and the Padyak Foundation presents: The 2009 GiG Run. A run to raise awareness on the need to protect the Ipo Watershed.
The run is expected to jump start the growing consciousness of protecting the Ipo Watershed that, together with Angat Watershed, supply 97 percent of Metro Manila’s fresh water. The watershed is currently experiencing heavy environment pressure as population encroach the area. Seventy percent of the watershed is heavily deforested thus causing silt deposits on the Angat River that carries water to the Ipo Dam.
The proceeds of the race will be utilized for the continuing program of the U.P. Mountaineers to bring back the lush green environment that once was the Ipo Watershed.
