Forests are integral to providing environmental, social and economic services to the people in the Philippines. Alarmingly, forest cover declined from 16.9 million hectares in 1934 to 8.04 million hectares in 2015. To address this problem, FAO through its Forest and Landscape Restoration Mechanism (FLRM) is supporting the government of the Philippines in FLR activities to achieve its national forest targets and address local demands. Following is an inspiring example of how the residents of the island province of Bohol have worked together to improve the flow of forest ecosystem services at the watershed-level with FAO support.
