WWF Organizes Earth Hour with Focus on Forest Conservation

Organized by WWF, this year’s event was dedicated to the forest, following the hottest year on record worldwide and the destruction of 120,000 hectares of woodland in Greece during last summer’s fires.

The lights on the Acropolis, Presidential Mansion, Parliament, and other public buildings were switched off on Saturday evening to mark Earth Hour.
