Forest Foundation Philippines, with support from the Government of Canada, recently approved grants to support community-led implementation of NbS from ridge to reef in Calamianes Islands in Palawan, Camarines Sur, and Davao. These NbS projects will strengthen communities' ability to adapt to climate impacts across 7,200+ hectares of forests, riverbanks, coasts, and seas, through community-based agroforestry and riparian restoration, eco-tourism and community-led marine protected area management, mangrove protection, and establishment of local conservation areas. This bring the total to PhP 80.5 million for local implementation of 17 NbS grants under the Philippines-Canada Partnership on Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for Climate Adaptation (PCP4NbS).
