🌿🌏 Happy International Day for Biological Diversity! 🌱🐾

Did you know? The Philippines is one of the world's 18 megadiverse countries, hosting about 2/3 of Earth's biodiversity. That’s 70-80% of all known plant and animal species 🌺 Scientists estimate over 52,177 species call the Philippines home, with a high level of endemism thanks to our unique island geography.

But at least 700 species are threatened with extinction, and many more are at risk due to habitat loss, pollution, illegal wildlife trade, and destructive farming. 😢🌍 Only 37.47% of our key biodiversity areas are protected. We must do more! 💪🌳

As young Filipinos, we are the next guardians of our forests, farms, and seas! 🌱🌊 ✨ Learn about local species ✨ Plant native trees ✨ Speak out for habitats that can’t speak for themselves 🌴🌊

🌸🐝 Did you know? The Philippines is a global biodiversity hotspot for bees, home to 5 of the world's 9 native honeybee species and around 12 stingless bee varieties! 🇵🇭✨

We have the tiny, antimicrobial honey-producing kiwot (lukot) to the giant pukyutan hanging from tall trees, our native bees are true agricultural superheroes, boosting crop yields by up to 80%! 🌺🥭🌴

However, habitat loss and harmful farming practices threaten these vital pollinators. It's time to protect and conserve our native bees to ensure a sustainable future for our agriculture and ecosystems. 🌿🛡️

Save the bees. Save our future. 💚

🌍✨ Happy Earth Day! ✨🌍
🍽️ Our food depends on a healthy planet 🥘
Today, we celebrate the beauty and wonder of our planet, from lush food forests and vibrant oceans to vast deserts and breathtaking mountains. It's a reminder of how precious and fragile our Earth is, and the importance of protecting it for future generations.

Every small action counts: reduce waste, recycle, plant a tree, conserve energy, and spread awareness. Together, we can make a difference and help preserve the incredible beauty of our home.

Let’s commit to being stewards of the Earth today and every day! 💚🌱🌎

🌱🍽️ Youth Pledge for Just Food Systems! 🍽️🌱
Young leaders from Southeast Asia gathered during the Asia and the Pacific Food Systems Transformation Forum to discuss how youth can play a pivotal role in building sustainable, climate-resilient, and nutrition-sensitive food systems across our region. 🙌🌏

A major highlight was the unveiling of the ASEAN Youth Pledge for Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems, a collective commitment by youth representatives to prioritize food security, ecosystem protection, and equitable access to nutritious food. This pledge emphasizes that youth shouldn’t just be consulted but empowered as active partners in shaping our food future.

Youth are already making a difference at the community level through participatory research, nutrition dialogues, and local food initiatives that reflect local realities.

From community gardening, urban agriculture, to sustainable enterprises using indigenous vegetables and traditional rice varieties, youth-led initiatives are strengthening local food systems across the region. 🌿🌾

However, challenges like limited land access, financing, and decision-making power remain. What we need is institutionalized youth leadership, where young people are not only heard but are co-creating and implementing solutions. 💪📝

Let’s continue to advocate for stronger governance that integrates youth voices in policy and investment decisions. 🌍🥗

🌸 Celebrating Women’s Month with Budbud Artisanal Salt in Miagao, Iloilo 🌸
Meet Lorlie Noblezada, proud asindera, Ilongga, owner of De Paul Artisanal Salt Manufacturing, cultural advocate, and passionate social worker from Miagao who is breaking barriers and leading the revival of their town’s historic Budbud sea salt industry. 🧂

Since 1823, this industry has been part of Miagao’s coastal heritage, but climate change and seawall constructions have nearly stopped it. After 195 years, Lorlie, the woman at the helm, is bringing new life to this centuries-old craft and is recognized as the woman who revived the dying industry, once dominated by men.

In March 2018, she and her husband, Rizalde, and their children, brought back the family’s old salt-making tradition by establishing budbud production.

Thanks to the University of the Philippines Miagao for food innovations such as lemograss-infused salt, Coastline 5023 for food safety mentorship, DTI for business scaling, and DOST for packaging, among many others, including the Miagao Government and BFAR, the Budbud salt-making industry grew.

Lorlie's is proud of her cultural roots, and this fueled her commitment to modern business practices. She aims to empower women entrepreneurs by training them in traditional budbud-making, helping to preserve Miagao’s salt-making heritage, and uplifting the community.
