The campaign was part of KLIA's Project Green Planet, which was launched last year to highlight its efforts in environmental conservation. The programme included events like the "Walk the Environment" race in which about 150 participants competed in a treasure hunt with clues on environmental issues, and along the way were able to explore the greenery in the KLIA Green Park. Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) managing director Datuk Bashir Ahmad Abdul Majid said KLIA remained committed in its environmental pursuit with no changes this year despite the current economic challenges and rising oil prices. "Though there will be an increase in the costs, all our operations will still go on. Of course, we will find ways to mitigate the costs," he said during the launch of the "Walk the Environment" campaign. In line with its environmental programme, the KLIA Green Park was open to the public today. The park is suitable to be an educational research area for students and forestry bodies, based on the varieties of plants available. It is also suitable as a recreational area for activities like jogging, trekking, mountain bike cycling and children camping. MAHB chairman Tan Sri Dr Aris Othman said during the launch that KLIA had shown its commitment in social responsibility by preserving the environment. He said KLIA had obtained for four consecutive years the Green Globe 21 certification, the global benchmark and improvement system for sustainable travel and tourism. It was first certified in the year 2004 and is so far the first and only airport in the world to attain the Green Globe certification. -- BERNAMA Edited June 14, 2008 by Azri M.
