Planting for the Future: Philippine Eagle Foundation’s 3M Tree Campaign takes flight

The Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) is launching a groundbreaking initiative aimed at restoring forest habitats and supporting the conservation of the critically endangered Philippine eagle. This ambitious campaign involves a massive reforestation effort encompassing 1,200 hectares that cover nine nesting sites in Mindanao.

The campaign’s goal is to plant 3 million fruit-bearing and endemic trees by March 3, 2024, to create a thriving ecosystem for the Philippine eagle and other wildlife, while also enhancing carbon sinks and providing benefits to local communities.

The PEF, in collaboration with nine Indigenous ethnolinguistic groups and netizens, will undertake this forest restoration campaign. The project aims to protect biodiversity, enhance climate resilience, address rural poverty, and revitalize Indigenous culture through a comprehensive effort that includes forest restoration and agroforestry techniques.
