SAMAR MANGROVES REMAIN RESILIENT

It was my first time to go to Samar and I had always wanted to go because of its unique biodiversity. The island alone hosts a variety of wildlife and flora that can be found nowhere else in the world. Considered an Important Biodiversity Area (IBA), more than 200 bird species can be found in the island of which half are endemic. Similarly, endemic plant species account for more

than half of at least 1000 plant species this island hosts.
