This year Ferne Animal Sanctuary is ready to celebrate #WorldEnvironmentDay on the 5th of June by taking part in a Virtual Balloon Race across the globe! It’s the paw-fect opportunity to show your support for our animals and have some fun at the same time.
What is a Virtual Balloon Race?
We are delighted to participate in EcoRacing’s virtual balloon race for World Environment Day on the 5th of June. A virtual balloon race is an innovative and eco-friendly event that allows participants to release virtual balloons into a digital landscape, powered by real-time weather data – making it both exciting and unpredictable! Participants can customize their balloons, changing the thickness, helium levels and shape to give it the best chance at winning, all whilst supporting a worthy cause.
The importance of World Environment Day…
World Environment Day is a chance to raise awareness for important environmental issues and challenges. It draws attention to pressing concerns such as climate chance, deforestation, pollution, and loss of biodiversity. World Environment Day highlights the significance of protecting the environment, whilst also encouraging individuals, communities, and organisations to take action and get involved.
