Forest restoration

Forests are one of the main pillars of human survival. We all depend upon our forests to provide us with our daily basic needs and act as a natural barrier when calamities strike. However, due to unsustainable practices, we continue to cannibalize our irreplaceable resources at an extremely high rate which leads to deforestation and the loss of habitat of our most precious fauna. The collective effort to protect and restore our forests is more urgent than ever.

BINHI established 10,140 hectares of forest restoration throughout the country. BINHI goes beyond traditional tree planting activities by prioritizing indigenous forest tree species of the area, intentionally working with the DENR and local communities to ensure proper site-species matching and high survival rates, and generating economic benefits for local communities by engaging them through reforestation contracts.

In support of BINHI’s national greening program, EDC built nurseries that propagate and produce seedlings of Philippine native trees, serving as planting materials for various reforestation projects. Last year, EDC nurtured 581,000 quality seedlings in the central and satellite nurseries spread across the different project sites.

The seedlings have been distributed to various partners as planting material in tree-planting activities. Meanwhile, others were maintained in the nurseries as seedling stock for future initiatives.
