Haribon showcases PH rainforests in summit

Forests are the people’s defense against the impacts of climate change, said Philippine conservation group Haribon Foundation at a summit on rainforest protection in Malaysia.

Haribon presented a paper showcasing the rainforests in the neighboring mountains of Irid and Angelo, located in the provinces of Bulacan, Rizal, and Quezon, as crucial agents to the country’s climate change adaptation efforts at the Belum Rainforest Summit (BRains), an international conference on conservation and the sustainable use of tropical rainforests held in Malaysia.
