IE students donate 12.000 EUROS to WWF to contribute to
Doñana's recovery

Last Saturday a group of 30 students and staff members of Campus Life and IE Editorial took part in the project "100 Companies for the Woods", a WWF environmental initiative that aims to reforest Doñana National Park. Together with the students IE donated 12.000€ collected through Print On Demand Service (POD) to reforest 4 hectares in La Rocina. In the past 3 years IE has already contributed to reforesting another 8,5 hectares. During the weekend the students planted 200 trees of 5 different native species! 
A big thank you and congratulations for the success of this initiative!!!
