Event Summary

In the Philippines, environmentalist Andrea Pimentel of World Wildlife Fund leads local communities in Masbate province to rehabilitate mangroves using bamboo fences to block sediment. The country has lost over 60% of its mangrove cover since 1918, and stronger typhoons threaten remaining mangroves. A 2024 study by the International Union for Conservation of Nature found half the world's mangrove ecosystems at risk of collapse. Scientist Severino Salmo led a 2023 survey showing the Philippines suffered the second-highest mangrove losses in Southeast Asia.
