Mangrove Environmental Conservation Philippines

The aim of this project is to conserve mangrove plantations in Tigman village. The objective is to reverse the trend of removing mangrove sites, which has seen a rapid increase during recent years from natural disasters and other social issues. This can realistically only be achieved through the education of younger generations, combined with the continual physical work of planting new mangroves.

Spend your time on conserving Palawan’s mangrove plantations, a vital habitat for its marine life. This unique ecosystem area serves as a coastal barrier, slowing storm surge, and reducing beach erosion. Other eco-efforts include planting mahogany and moringa tree seeds for the local village.
