ONLY ONE PLANET
We have only one planet and only one atmosphere. While Earth is 12,742 km in diameter, the layer of breathable air is only within an average of 13 km altitude. The balloon race is an opportunity to demonstrate how close we are to space and how thin our air reserve actually is. It is therefore everybody's duty to protect our only layer of air!
ayam brand™ commitment
A long-term Partner of WWF, Ayam Brand is a founding member of SASPO, an organisation that promotes sustainable palm oil in order to fight haze, deforestation and to protect wildlife habitat.
educating the young
Taking advantage of the balloon race, WWF gave a masterclass on sustainability to the children of the school from where the balloons were launched. Ayam Brand has also produced educational copyright free videos based on the Race To Space that schools can use in their sustainability classes.
