About The Philippines

There are over 2,220 tree species native to the Philippines, 45% of which are endemic and found nowhere else in the world. Thirty-one species are assessed as Critically Endangered and are likely to go extinct unless urgent action is taken to save them. The country only has 7% forest cover but with your support, we can work with local communities to protect and reintroduce threatened tree species.
