Call to Earth Day 2025, Guard Your Green Space with Global Action
Ohana Magazine – This year marks the fifth annual Call to Earth Day, a global campaign emphasizing the protection and restoration of green spaces in both urban and rural settings. Spearheaded in partnership with Rolex’s Perpetual Planet Initiative, the effort invites communities worldwide to move beyond awareness and join in tangible action. From Hong Kong to Chile, young people are stepping forward to guard their green corners of the planet.
Young Voices, Big Impact on the Ground
In Hong Kong, students have built “bee hotels” to support pollinators in urban gardens. Meanwhile, in Chile, school-based cleanup events and tree planting initiatives illustrate how sustainability is shifting from occasional project to everyday mindset. These grassroots methods show that protecting nature begins small but the ripple effects are powerful. When children participate in ecological debate or hands-on restoration, they learn not just content but conscience.

From Pollution to Paradise
Beijing’s Liangma River story stands out: once heavily polluted, it’s now a thriving green corridor thanks to a government-led restoration launched in 2016. Today the riverbanks are alive with educational programs and local volunteers. This transformation proves that urban green spaces are not only aesthetic add-ons they become living laboratories for people, nature, and the future.
Why “Your Green Space” Matters
When the campaign says “Guard Your Green Space,” it means more than protecting a tree or a park. It means appreciating the ecosystem around us and understanding our role in it. Every lawn, community garden, or riverbank carries significance. Research shows that neighborhoods with abundant green cover experience lower stress levels and improved public health. In other words, your green space isn’t just pretty it’s healing.

What You Can Do Right Now
You don’t need a research degree to help. Start by planting a native shrub in your yard or volunteering for a park cleanup. At the community level, consider supporting efforts that protect open spaces from development. One simple comparison: in areas where tree canopy covers dropped below 20%, local temperatures rose up to 2 °C. So by planting just a few trees or defending a patch of grass, you’re directly affecting climate and people.
From Awareness to Lifelong Engagement
For lasting change, awareness must evolve into habit. That means scheduling monthly park visits, joining citizen science projects, or simply promising to recycle and compost more. The campaign organizers emphasize the word “guard” intentionally because protection is ongoing, not a one-time event. By raising your hand now, you become part of a global network determined to leave a healthy planet behind.
