“World Wide Views on Biodiversity” or WWViews, is global citizen participation project designed to provide policy makers with information about citizens’ views on biodiversity issues. It aims to engage ordinary citizens in the process of policymaking and awareness-raising to sustain a living and healthy planet. On this date, at least a hundred citizens in each participating country will attend day-long meetings starting at dawn in the Pacific and continue until dusk in the Americas.
WWViews in the Philippines is being organized by the World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF) as part of the WWViews Alliance.
