One of the world’s largest restoration projects has overcome challenges thanks to partnerships that changed mindsets and the ways things are done.
The Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project in the Philippines is one of the planet’s most ambitious restoration projects. It is led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, known as DENR, with substantial funding from the Asian Development Bank, International Fund for Agricultural Development, Global Environment Facility and the Government of the Philippines. World Agroforestry (ICRAF) has been providing technical support in the last two and a half years of the project.

7M hectares of Philippine land are forested and that’s bad news The country has been vulnerable to massive flooding linked to deforestation. The coronavirus pandemic is also a catastrophe that arose from populations occupying wild animal habitats. BY KAROL ILAGAN May 12, 2021 | 02:04:00 PM
Key findings:
Forest loss persists in the Philippines even with a log ban and protection laws in place.
