EnviroMall Week 2008 - Global and local challenges
THE MALL HOSTS THE SECOND ANNUAL ENVIROMALL WEEK
In 2008, we are working with new partner, the World Land Trust, to raise awareness of the world's rainforests, the animals and plants that depends on the forests and the challenges they face.
Every year an area equivalent to the size of Wales is destroyed for its timber, and to make way for large-scale agriculture and development. During EnviroMall Week, between 2 and 8 June, shoppers and members of the local community will be able to take part in activities that raise awareness of the rainforest as well finding out how to pledge to save them from being destroyed.
The World Land Trust (WLT), of which Sir David Attenborough is patron, is an international conservation charity based in the UK that works with local partners in the countries where it has land purchase and protection projects. The World Land Trust raises the funds to buy the land and partnerships are drawn up with their partners and the ownership and protection vested with them.
EnviroMall Week 2007 was the launch of The Mall’s initiative to encourage 1 million shoppers to make a pledge to help combat climate change.
In 2008, we are continuing to raise pledges with the 'It's Our Turn' campaign.
