Just a year after deciding to go on a pescatarian diet, and then going vegan, it seems that Nadine Lustre has embarked on a new journey as wildlife protector.
An advocate for the environment, Lustre was recently bestowed the title “honorary park ranger” by Masungi Georeserve, a private conservation area in Rizal, citing her concern and care for animals and the planet, which was her consideration in changing her diet to vegan, which involves eating plant-based food including vegetables, fruits, nuts, and grains, while dairy products such as eggs, and meat are not allowed.
“Nadine wanted to see how Masungi was doing amid our challenges [and] came to show support. She also shared with us her journey to a vegan lifestyle, which she is embarking on for the welfare of animals [and] the planet,” their tweet read.

The conservation area also shared photos of the award-winning actress participating in its tree-nurturing activities, where she was seen removing weeds and mulching or preserving the soil’s moisture by covering it with wood chips, bark, or other organic materials.

During a separate interview with local lifestyle magazine Cosmopolitan Philippines earlier this month, Lustre admitted that she would likely end up in jail for “fighting for the environment.”
“That’s a serious thing. It would probably happen eventually, I hope not. But fingers crossed. But I see that happening eventually,” she was quoted as saying. EDV
