Condura Race For Tubbataha
 Our
marine life is in danger. They need our help. Their home,
the Tubbataha Reefs, needs to be saved.
The Tubbataha Reefs near Puerto Princesa, Palawan are the
largest reef atoll in the country and serves as a sancutary
for the majority of marine life in the region. It's a UNESCO
World Heritage site and is internationally recognized
for its diverse ecosystem. The reefs are a major source of
livelihood for most people in the region.
 In
the past years, it has been beleaguered by poaching and illegal
fishing issues, thereby increasing enforcement costs threefold
in the last year. That's why Concepcion Durables,
Inc. will be holding the Condura Race for
Tubbataha to raise funds and awareness that will
help aid the preservation of the reefs. Let's run and save
Tubbataha before it runs out of time.
