The RPN Flora & Fauna, Inc. through its event organizer ICE, Inc. and in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources will be staging the much awaited 2nd PHILIPPINE INTERNATIONAL FLORA & FAUNA GARDEN EXPO 2009 (PIFGEX 2009) on July 16-19, 2009 at the iconic World Trade Center , Pasay City, Philippines.

With the clamor for a repeat of the highly successful 1st Philippine International Flora & Fauna Garden Expo held last July 2008 , the organizer is now spearheading a bigger and more comprehensive exposition with the theme – “Protecting and Sustaining Nature”.

After gathering over 10,000 attendees and visitors last year, PIFGEX 2008 has proven that 1 hall and 3 days were not enough space and time for the event. This is the very reason why we are now going to use 2 halls and make it a 4-day event (Thursday to Sunday). We intend to surpass the traffic flow of over 15,000 visitors from all levels of private and public schools and universities, flower and plant growers, garden enthusiasts, landscapers, traders and suppliers of garden products and services, hobbyists and breeders of animals and nature lovers.

In addition to the exhibits, trade fair and daily lectures, there will also be a 2-day scientific conference discussing Philippine plants and animals. The first day (July 17) will be about important Philippine Tree Species, Orchids and Epiphytic species, Ferns & Alllies, and Noteworthy Under-Canopy plant species (aroids, palms, cycads and flowering vines). On the second day (July 18), will be about Philippine Terrestrial Mammals, Reptiles and Amphibians, Important Insect species, and Local & Migratory Birds.

One of the event’s highlights is the special participation of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources showcasing the endemic and endangered species of plants and animals of the 16 regions of the Philippines. Each region will be represented by its own pavilion and retail area.

Government agencies, private associations, clubs, NGOs, and environmentalists will again be part of this worthy endeavor. Daily seminars, workshops, demonstrations and flower arrangement competitions will be conducted for expo attendees and visitors.
