Restoring Nature for Livelihoods and Climate Resilience in the Philippines

The Asian Development Bank (ADB), with support from the Government of Japan through the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific, is implementing the regional technical assistance (TA) project, Investing in Climate Change Adaptation through Agroecological Landscape Restoration: A Nature-Based Solution for Climate Resilience in Cambodia, Bangladesh, and the Philippines. The project emphasizes forest restoration, agroforestry, and agroecology measures that build climate resilience, enhance biodiversity, and improve livelihoods of communities.
In the Philippines, the TA is working with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources through the River Basin Control Office. The International Centre for Environmental Management and World Agroforestry Centre are providing technical support to the project, alongside a partner nongovernment organization, Landcare Foundation of the Philippines.
Restoration work has been undertaken with local communities and farmer-cooperators in the Manupali watershed in the headwaters of the Mindanao River Basin. The project implements nature-based solutions to improve the hydrology of the river basin while reducing erosion and sediment transport. Put together, the restoration interventions are promoting biodiversity, rehabilitating drainage corridors, strengthening the communities’ resilience to climate change, and helping enhance livelihoods.

it is essential that the philippines adopt what singapore or china does, building high-rise tenements for poor people instead of the government awarding square lots for poor people in need of housing. this because forests and waterways, endangered animal species should be protected for the next generations of filipinos. farmlands should also be monitored not to encroach on protected forests areas. if needed land reclamation by the sea is the best alternative option for building housing for the poor and other infrastructures. philippines is only the size of Arizona, USA, and it had 120 million people, overcrowded enough that if we do not watch and monitor, the next generation of filipinos will suffer.
