In Partnership with World Wide Fund for Nature 

Liga Adarna has also partnered with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) - Philippines for the "Now Loading: Gamers for Nature" campaign as its official beneficiary for the season.

The partnership will raise funds for the organization’s environmental education initiatives. The initiative also aims to provide aid for the fisherfolk of Lagonoy Gulf, which covers the Provinces of Albay, Camarines Sur, and Catanduanes, whose homes and livelihood were ravaged by Super Typhoon Rolly and Typhoon Ulysses. 

The program supports WWF-Philippines' mission to raise awareness on the conservation of the Philippines’ natural resources, ecosystems, and wildlife habitats.
