🌿 Growing !

🌟 We recently brought together 19 of our grantees under the 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀-𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (𝗡𝗯𝗦) 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (PCP4NbS) for SUMPAY: our first Annual Community of Practice (CoP) Partners gathering!

🤝 Our grantees, including civil society groups and Indigenous Peoples organizations, and three women-led organizations – from Batanes to Palawan to Davao Oriental – came together to exchange good practices, innovations, and lessons on gender-responsive NbS. Together, they selected regional focals for Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, and defined a bold vision: 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚-𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 (𝙉𝙗𝙎) 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙖 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚-𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚.

✨ PCP4NbS partners, including the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the University of Guelph in Canada, and the University of the Philippines Department of Community and Environment Resource Planning (UPLB-DCERP), the Philippines Biodiversity Conservation Foundation, and the Calamianes Resilience Network, joined SUMPAY to support the CoP in its work on NbS for climate resilience across the country.

🇵🇭 Hindi lahat ng bayani ay nakasuot ng kapa. Ang ilan ay may dalang backpack, GPS, at punla.

🦸🏽 Ngayong , binibigyang-pugay natin ang mga Bantay Gubat na araw-araw na nagbabantay, nagpoprotekta, at nagpapanumbalik ng ating mga kagubatan.

🏞️ Isa na rito si Rommel Rodriguez, mula sa Philippine Parks & Biodiversity, grantee ng Forest Foundation Philippines, na lumaki sa paanan ng Ipo Watershed. Mula sa pagiging batang humahanga sa ganda ng kagubatan, naging isa siya sa mga nangunguna ngayon sa pangangalaga nito.

💪🏽 Sa tulong ng mga Bantay Gubat na sinusuportahan ng PPBCSI, mahigit 10,000 katutubong puno ang naitanim , mahigit 40 species ng katutubong puno ang naparami, bumabalik ang mga buhay-ilang, at nananatiling ligtas ang kagubatan sa 30-ektaryang management area ng nito sa loob ng Ipo Watershed mula sa sunog sa nakalipas na mga taon.

❣️ Ngunit hindi pa rito nagtatapos ang laban.

💚 Sa pamamagitan ng Forest Ranger for a Day Learning Visit, magkakaroon ka ng pagkakataong matuto tungkol sa kahalagahan ng ating mga kagubatan at watershed, at native tree nursery management, kasama mismo ang mga Bantay Gubat na nangunguna sa pangangalaga sa Ipo Watershed.

📍 Magregister sa Eco Explorations page para sa educational tree planting or nurturing: bit.ly/learningvisits2026

🤝 Inaanyayahan din namin kayo na makipagpartner sa Forest Foundation Philippines upang masuportahan ang mga Bantay Gubat sa Ipo Watershed at iba’t ibang parte ng Pilipinas. Maaari kayong magbigay ng in-kind donations, tulad ng bigas para sa forest patrols, ranger gear, at field equipment, na makatutulong sa kanilang araw-araw na tungkulin sa pangangalaga ng ating mga kagubatan.

🥹 Ang pangangalaga sa kagubatan ay hindi lamang responsibilidad ng mga Bantay Gubat—responsibilidad natin itong lahat.

🌳 Sama-sama nating pangalagaan ang kagubatang nagbibigay-buhay sa milyun-milyong Pilipino!

🌱 are among our most valuable coastal ecosystems. They protect shorelines from storms and erosion, provide habitat for wildlife, sustain fisheries, store carbon, and support the livelihoods of coastal communities.

🌟This , let's remember that mangrove restoration is not simply about planting more trees—it's about planting the right species in the right place. Understanding mangrove zonation ensures that restoration efforts work with nature, allowing mangrove forests to thrive for generations.

2️⃣0️⃣For the past 20 years, we have worked alongside People’s Organizations (POs), civil society organizations, local governments, academic institutions, and the private sector to protect, conserve, and restore mangrove ecosystems across the country.

💪From supporting women-led mangrove management in Palawan and Negros Occidental, to supporting large-scale restoration and community stewardship in Sibuguey Bay, Zamboanga Sibugay, these partnerships demonstrate that healthy mangroves are built through science, community empowerment, collaboration, partnerships, and long-term commitment.

👋Together, we can grow healthier mangrove forests and more resilient coastal communities!
