Although it was just an overnight activity, the presence of the group agitated the city officials, with demands to declare moratorium on banana and pineapple expansion; strictly regulate the use of hazardous pesticides and other toxic synthetic chemicals use by the plantations; stop aerial spraying; and other kinds of practices and developments that threaten the environment and health of the people.OUR OBJECTIVES:General Objective:KAUBAN works as a steward of Mother Nature as “MOTHER NATURE ARMY”.
