Community forests in Asia
Livelihoods that keep forests standing
From Palawan to Tompotika, NTFP-EP helps communities turn rattan, resins, food and culture into dignified income — while defending customary territories against logging and conversion.
With Nature’s Heartbeat they can invest in governance and youth leadership, not only one-off product trainings.
