Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 22) On International Biodiversity Day, a conservation group stressed the importance of allowing indigenous people to participate in efforts to preserve the country s natural resources.
Adryon Javier, from the Center for Conservation Innovation PH, Inc., said she spent almost four years in Mindoro province, working with the Mangyans on conservation efforts, as well as equipping them with the technical skills to defend their ancestral lands.
The indigenous tribes have a spiritual connection with the environment that involves understanding ecological processes, Javier said, from noticing the presence and absence of certain wildlife, to changes in soil fertility.

Plans NSW Cyber Hub to grow sector.
The NSW government will establish a NSW Cyber Hub to grow the cyber security industry and create a pipeline for talent as part of the state’s new sector-wide 2021 cyber security strategy.
The strategy, released on Thursday, brings together for the first time the government’s cyber security ambitions for both industry and government, which were previously two separate strategies.
It has been developed over the past 12 months with input from over 85 organisations to serve the dual purpose of defending and protecting the economy, while underpinning its growth.
