Follow up on my 12th March posting, I am pleased to share that Brunei topped some 50 countries in Standard Chartered Bank's Greatest Race on Earth (GROE) 2007/2008 Environment Challenge and won the first prize of US$5 million, revealed in The Brunei Times on 6th April 2008.
The significant sum will be channelled to the Heart of Borneo (HoB) programme, to be administered by World Wildlife Foundation (WWF). The HoB programme is a collaborative effort by Government of Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia.

5 More Days To go
Standard Chartered, working in partnership with WWF, will donate USD 1 million to support vital environmental conservation projects which will benefit the three nations that generate the most pledges per capita. Currently, Brunei Darussalam tops the pledges chart.If Brunei kept the top position till 17th March 2008, we stand the chance to have the fund in supporting our "Heart of Borneo" (HoB) projects.
So, be it water or air quality, climate change or forest conservations that are currently your main environmental concerns, help Brunei Darussalam through your pledge. Your pledge will make a positive difference and could also benefit your selected/supported country (of course, it has to be Brunei Darussalam in this case)!
