Mayor Hagedorn

Mayor Hagedorn is well known around the world as the
“protective floodgate” of the environment and natural resources in Palawan,
including the rain forests, the mangrove forests and the coral reefs.

Edward S. Hagedorn

He is often termed as the ‘Philipino Al Gore’.
Former U.S. Vice President and Nobel Prize laureate Al Gore with Mayor Hagedorn during his visit in Manila - June 8 2010.
Both Al Gore and Mayor Hagedorn are recipients of the United Nations Global 500 award.

Yet, it should be bear in mind that protecting the environment in North America, Europe and Australia, is not as tough task as in the rest of the world!

The destructive forces in developing countries are very powerful,
and the leader of nature protection needs you!

Hagedorn Following in Al Gore's Environmental Footsteps

Hagedorn Following in Al Gore's Environmental Footsteps

Mayor Edward Hadgedorn is follwing in Al Gore's environmental awarness footsteps. Following Al Gore is not an easy path [official Gore site]. Al Gore himslef did not choose an easy path. After suffering one of the most contentious and embarrasing presidential ellection loss, Gore could have chosen the quiet life of a retired US vice president. But he did not choose to retire quietly in Tennessee. He set out to change the world's awareness of global warming. He chose to help the people of the world become aware and responsible global environmental citizens. He first set out to speak to whomever will listen. He quietly and diligently lectured tens of thousands of American college students. Gradually he developed a clear, convincing story of global warming impact on our environment. Next he made a movie and wrote a book, mostly pictures and charts, much like his presentation. The story of global warming is not a hard one to tell. Until Al Gore came along, it was hidden in remote glaciars and academic scientists' file cabinets.
