HABITATS
WWF-Philippines works to protect, conserve, and rehabilitate habitats across the country because they are the foundations upon which all of nature thrive. The human impact on habitats have been overlooked for many decades leading to extreme degradation in some ecosystems. Restoring habitats to become lush landscapes once again will greatly benefit entire communities that depend on it for their livelihood and also the biodiversity of life that call it home.

Save TBPPS

The Ticao-Burias Pass Protected Seascape is rich with marine resources and biodiversity and it is crucial that there are protection and conservation measures put in place to cushion the impact of a changing climate. WWF-Philippines faced the challenges by forging partnerships with the local governments of 4 provinces and with indigenous peoples whose ancestral lands are within the protected seascape.
