Leyte Reforestation Project

Absolutely true!

We cut the trees.
We destroyed the hills.
We blocked the natural flow of water.
Then when floods arrive, we proudly say:
“Nature did this.”

Rain is natural.
Disaster is often man-made.

A forest is not just a group of trees.
It is a water filter, a soil protector, a flood barrier, and a life support system.

When we remove it, nature doesn’t take revenge.
It simply stops protecting us.

Don’t blame nature for the consequences of our own destruction.

Let’s plant more trees!

Forests are one of the planet’s most powerful climate solutions.

By absorbing CO₂ emissions, forests help regulate temperatures, protect biodiversity and strengthen resilience against climate impacts.

But climate change, drought, wildfires and land degradation continue to place increasing pressure on these vital natural systems.

Protecting and restoring nature is essential to protecting our future.
