Forest or Fortress? What kind of world do we want to live in—a fortress world of concrete and division, or a forest world of balance and sustainability?
In our latest episode of What’s AP: Araling Panlipunan Rebooted, together with Forest Foundation Philippines, we dive into the history of forests in the Philippines, from colonial land policies to modern threats like deforestation and climate change. Featuring environmental lawyer Tony La Viña, indigenous Higaunon leader Lita Naabot, and conservation advocate Manuel Uy, we explore how Nature-based Solutions (NbS) — practiced for centuries by indigenous communities — hold the key to restoring our forests. The fight isn’t over. How can we take action today? Tune in now and be part of the movement!
