🌿✨ 𝗔𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗛𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 ✨🌿

Three days of trails, teamwork, and total immersion in nature—our Atabay Lake Fun Hike was nothing short of a meaningful adventure. From forest paths to shared campfire moments, every step reminded us why landscapes like Sultan Peak deserve to be experienced, appreciated, and protected.

Along the journey, participants shared stories, learned from one another, and built deeper connections—not only with nature, but also with the people who call these forests home. The hike provided a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of the Sultan Peak landscape while fostering a greater appreciation for its ecological and cultural significance.

Reaching Atabay Lake was a rewarding moment for everyone involved. More than just a destination, it served as a reminder of the importance of preparation, teamwork, and respect for the natural world. Despite the challenges along the trail, participants returned with new insights, stronger friendships, and a renewed commitment to conservation and responsible outdoor recreation.

The activity also contributed to our ongoing efforts to better understand, promote, and responsibly showcase the trail as a potential venue for future eco-learning, environmental education, and conservation engagement activities within the Sultan Peak landscape. 🌱

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our local porters and guides, the Tagbanua Community, the Barangay LGU of Princess Urduja, the Municipal Tourism Office of Narra, our volunteer chef, Alvin Chan and especially our guest, Brody Walsh, for their support, partnership, and enthusiasm in making this activity a success. 💚🌿

Until the next trail! 🥾🌄

Our team recently conducted an Almaciga (Agathis philippinensis) reconnaissance expedition in Narra, Palawan to locate and assess potential mother trees for seed collection—an important step in supporting sustainable seed sourcing and future reforestation efforts.

Led by our Almaciga Field Officer, Rainier Ligasan, the activity focused on assessing the health, cone production, and location of identified mother trees while gathering field data to support the third Almaciga seed collection.

This activity highlights the importance of regular field assessments in ensuring that seed collection is conducted sustainably while supporting forest restoration initiatives that benefit both biodiversity and local communities. 🌿

A huge thank you to the Indigenous Tagbanua community for guiding the team and sharing their invaluable knowledge of the forest throughout the expedition. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to Booth Global for supporting this work and helping advance Almaciga conservation and forest restoration efforts. 💚

Together, we continue working to protect and restore Palawan's forests for future generations. 🌏🌲

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗹 👀: 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻

The Centre for Sustainability PH proudly launched 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗹, a research initiative focused on the Malatgan River Caecilian (𝘐𝘤𝘩𝘵𝘩𝘺𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘪) inthe proposed Sultan Peak Critical Habitat.

Led by Mark Lloyd Desaca, Research and Education Officer, the project seeks to uncover the ecology, distribution, and conservation needs of one of the most elusive and understudied amphibians while generating scientific knowledge to support the protection of its habitat.

As one of its first major activities, the team conducted a reconnaissance expedition at Buhawi River to explore and validate potential habitats through field surveys, route mapping, and habitat assessments. Joining the expedition was Axl Redelicia, one of our local interns, whose valuable support in field navigation, documentation, and data collection contributed to the success of the survey.

This project represents an important step toward understanding and conserving the unique biodiversity of the proposed Sultan Peak Critical Habitat and strengthening science-based conservation efforts in the region.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Re:wild for supporting the fieldwork activities of the project and to The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund for funding its Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) initiatives. Their support is helping advance research, conservation action, and public awareness for this remarkable species and its habitat.

🐾 𝗞𝗘𝗘𝗣 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗗! 🐾

Celebrating World Binturong Day

Today, we celebrate the mysterious, tree-loving binturong, one of Palawan’s most iconic yet least understood wildlife species! Did you know that binturongs smell like buttered popcorn? Or that their prehensile tail works like an extra hand for climbing? These amazing creatures play a crucial role in keeping our forests healthy by spreading seeds as they roam.

But behind their charm lies a serious truth:�According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, the binturong is classified as Vulnerable, with its population declining due to habitat loss, deforestation, hunting, and the illegal pet trade. Every threat brings them closer to disappearing from our forests—and they need our voice now more than ever.

Let’s turn awareness into action. The future of the binturong depends on all of us.
🌿 TAKE ACTION TODAY!
✔️ Say NO to wild pets or wildlife products�✔️ Report wildlife trade if you see it�✔️ Support habitat protection in Palawan�✔️ Share this and spread the message!

Together, we can keep the forests alive—and keep the binturong wild and free. 🐾💚

𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: 𝐀 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜, 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠! 🎶🎨

Last April 25, 2026, the Centre for Sustainability PH (CS) was generously invited by The Earth School, El Nido (TES) to join their full-day 𝐆𝐚𝐲𝐚-𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 celebrating Earth Day at beautiful Lio Beach in El Nido—incl. student-powered fundraising to support our upcoming Pangolin Education & Research Center program (PERC). 🌴✨

The energy in El Nido was straight-up electric! Our local youth and TES students turned up the volume for Mother Earth, using music, dance, and theater to show that conservation is a total vibe. It was more than just a show–our very own Research & Education Officer, Lloyd Desaca, shared the vision behind CS’ initiatives, giving visitors a deep dive into the mission of Program PERC and how we are working together to safeguard Palawan’s wildlife🦎🛡️

Moreover, the CS booth was buzzing! From educational games that were facilitated by CS Intern from Palawan State University, Jhon Jerick Malvas, to deep dives into the Sultan Peak “Kensad” initiative in Narra, we loved connecting with everyone who stopped by to learn about pangolin ecology and local conservation 📝🙌

A massive thank you to The Earth School for generously giving us this platform & their incredible efforts to mobilise resources for our conservation efforts, & to everyone who joined us! Together, we’re proving that when the community unites, we can create a sustainable future for our wildlife and our world!
