The Philippine Mangrove Conference 2026 is officially launched.

Six years since the last National Mangrove Summit and five years since the last National Mangrove Conference, we come together once again; not to start from scratch, but to honor commitments, assess progress, and strengthen accountable pathways for resilient communities.

Anchored on the theme “Ensuring Accountable Pathways for Resilient Communities,” this inaugural national platform by the Global Mangrove Alliance Philippines and the DENR Biodiversity Management Bureau integrates science, policy, innovation, and community voices into one dynamic gathering.

This is more than a conference.
It is a national moment of reflection, alignment, and renewed commitment.

On March 24–26, 2026, we convene to look back with honesty, and move forward with purpose.
