The Northwest Panay Peninsula Natural Park on the Philippine island of Panay is home to many endangered animal and plant species found only there.
The problem
During the pandemic, many people in the Philippines are unable to earn money. For this reason, the problem of clearing but also poaching in the natural park has drastically worsened since Corona. Unfortunately, we discovered many new slash and burn sites.
Solution
In order to protect the rainforest and prevent poaching and further clearing, it is imperative that our rangers patrol the nature park on a regular basis. They stop arsonists, extinguish set fires, document and report the damage. They also curb poaching by destroying poachers' traps and convincing them to surrender.
We need your support to keep our rangers patrolling regularly so they can effectively protect the nature park and its wildlife.
Unfortunately, because of Corona, we have not been able to sell our unique items such as our handmade copper print postcards, hand-sewn cloth handkerchiefs and other goodies such as homemade deodorant, bath balls and vegan liver sausage at the Christmas markets and street fairs. So we are missing about 1000€ income = donations for PhilinCon from last year and the outreach to the people. Now we have thought about and put together packages for you, with sustainable,
handmade and new goodies.
Become a rainforest savior!
