14 DAY TRIAL // Earlier this week, green group the World Wildlife Fund opened a new office in Seoul, South Korea. The organization expects that, by establishing an institutional presence in this part of the world, it will be able to help the country embrace sustainable development and improve on its ecological footprint.
On its website, the World Wildlife Fund explains that, over the years, South Korea, officially known as the Republic of Korea, has proven ready and willing to support and adhere to the organization's Earth Hour global movement.
Hence, it should not come as a surprise that the World Wildlife Fund saw fit to further invest in this collaboration by setting up an office in South Korea's capital, conservationists working with the organization explain.
Commenting on the opening of a WWF office in the Republic of Korea, Mr. Yang In-Mo, co-chairperson of the WWF-Korea Board of Trustees, said that, “This is a proud moment for Korea to welcome WWF on its shores. Korean people want to live well and sustainably, and be a part of the solution.”
“Choosing cleaner energies, greener transport options, and consuming eco-friendly products like certified sustainable seafood, are all ways Korean people can and will make a difference,” Mr. Yang In-Mo went on to argue.
