FPE, USAID, and DENR officials get a glimpse of the 8 case studies on forest restoration best practices produced under the USAID-FPE project. (L-R) Oliver Agoncillo, USAID Philippines Natural Resources Policy Advisor; Vilma Joson, FPE Board Member; Nestor Carbonera, FPE Chair and CEO; Conrado Bravante, Jr. , OIC-Chief, Project Management Division, Foreign Assisted and Special Project Office (FASPO)-DENR; Marlyn Mendoza, Chief, Protected Areas Community and Management Division, DENR; Godofredo Villapando, Jr., FPE Executive Director; and Norma Molinyawe, OIC-Chief of Biodiversity and Management Division, DENR-PAWB.

In support of this year’s Earth Day celebration, with the theme, “Earth Day Everyday, Everywhere, for Everyone”, FPE launched the second batch of its KALIKASAN (Kaalamang Likas Yaman: Knowledge of Natural Resources) Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Development Knowledge Series, featuring the case studies of eight partners under the USAID-FPE Up-Scaling Forest Restoration Efforts in Key Biodiversity Areas Project.

This activity, which forms part of the knowledge management component of the USAID-FPE project, was held on April 17 at the UP Institute of Small-Scale Industries, Diliman, Quezon City. These knowledge products showcase best practices on forest restoration of FPE partners from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

With cases that revolve around convergence and partnership building as well as encouraging people’s organizations and communities’ participation in forest restoration, the partners shared valuable learnings, strategies and recommendations worth sharing and replicating in other conservation sites.
