Philippines

In the Philippines, Nature's Heartbeat focuses on Southern Palawan: a landscape where forests meet coastlines and Indigenous and local communities defend biodiversity that is unique even within a megadiverse country.

Why the Philippines matters

Palawan's forests at the edge of the sea

Southern Palawan holds species and habitats found nowhere else — and faces mining, tourism pressure and conversion that can erase them quickly.

Local partners work with communities to secure territories, strengthen livelihoods from forest and sea, and keep this Key Biodiversity Area intact for the long term.
