It’s another first for WWF to partner with SMART Communications Inc., a leading wireless services provider to raised funds through sms/texting service that will be used in protecting and rehabilitating Davao Gulf in Mindanao. They called this project Text-to-Donate service, the sms-based donation platform empowers more that 46 million SMART and Talk ‘N Text subscribers to send their contribution to WWF through their mobile phone anywhere they are and anytime they wanted. All they need to do is to text WWF (amount) and send to 4483; denominations accepted are 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 300, 500 and 1,000.

In the Philippines, 5 out of 7 turtle specie is located here, while dugong also an herbivore sea creature lives in wide, shallow, protected areas like Davao Gulf. The area is one of the priority conservation areas of the Sulu-Sulawesi Marine Eco-region. Philippines is part of what we call Coral Triangle along with Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste where almost or at least 500 species of reef-building corals in each ecoregion. Where different specie of sea creatures inhabit within it and as of 2007, WWF considers it as a top priority for marine conservation through their Coral Triangle Program.
