Environmental Life Skills Program

WWF-Philippines acknowledges the vital role of education in the mainstreaming of programs that address various environmental issues. WWF’s Environmental Life Skills Program (ELS) provides one platform to enrich the educational experience, as we move toward a sustainable nation.

The Environmental Life Skills Program consists of stand-alone modules that focus on five fundamental environmental issues: Biodiversity Conservation, Climate Change and Sustainable Lifestyle, Energy Efficiency and Conservation, and Renewable Energy, Waste Management, Water Conservation. Each module is designed for a particular audience or school level based on the science subject curriculum. The details of each module are as follows:

  • Biodiversity and Conservation – this module focuses on the interrelationships of various components in the environment.
  • Climate Change and Sustainable Lifestyle – this module focuses on the concepts of climate change and prepares the school to adapt to its impacts.
  • Energy Efficiency and Conservation & Renewable Energy – this module focuses on the benefits of conserving energy and making energy efficient choices.

The different renewable energy sources will also be discussed.
  • Waste Management – this module focuses on waste management by understanding the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) and composting.
  • Water Conservation – this module focuses on the watershed - the source of water - and understands its importance.

The ELS is envisioned as a three-year program that aims to increase awareness and motivate young Filipinos to more actively participate in conserving and protecting the Philippine environment.
