Preserve the Philippines’ Natural Heritage: Support our Conservation Efforts

ABS-CBN Foundation International's environment advocacy (Bantay Kalikasan) empowers Filipinos to become Earth Warriors and safeguard the Philippines' natural environment. Our mission is to preserve and enhance Philippine biodiversity, creating a lasting impact for future generations.

Founded in 1998, Bantay Kalikasan has a strong track record of protecting and enriching our country’s natural environment. Our initiatives include rehabilitating La Mesa Watershed and Ecopark, cleaning Pasig River’s tributaries, promoting responsible waste disposal, and engaging communities in Citizen Science for biodiversity hotspots like Verde Island Passage. We are also committed to protecting mangroves and coral reefs along the coasts.

Become an environmental champion and empower our mission.

Challenges

The Philippines is a country blessed with rich biodiversity, but unfortunately, it faces a number of environmental challenges.

Contributors to Environmental Harm
The Philippines ranks third in the world in terms of plastic waste contribution. Deforestation, pollution, and degradation of ecosystems are just some of the significant threats our environment faces.
Community involvement
More scientists and community participation are needed to improve the problem
Lack of coordinated long-term solutions
We need to develop inclusive and long-term solutions to address these environmental issues.

Act now to preserve the Philippines' natural beauty and resources. Let's work together to protect the environment for future generations to enjoy.

The citizen science program surely helped me. When I share and teach others about the reef and the ocean they understand the importance and connection of these resources to their lives.

Thank you so much, ABS-CBN, you made our dreams come true.
