Vanguards of the Forest: Panel Session on Environmental Protection by the IP's

We are addressing the struggles and best practices of the Indigenous People ambassadors as the vanguards of their ancestral domain, the forest and environment.Our goal is to give hope and encourage more help,partnerships and volunteers from the public and young people along with the different stakeholders including the local government units,private sectors, non government organizations and the indigenous people communities all over Philippines.


Our goal is to make it known to the public the struggles and victories made by the IP Communities from the different regions of the Philippines on what they did and are doing in protecting their ancestral domain and as vanguards of the forests by panel discussions and breakout sessions.This is inclusive of discussions on livelihood trainings, school of living traditions dubbed as Manunturo Session. The measurement of our impact is the active participation and involvement of a number of stakeholders, student participation, and crafting of declaration by the IP ambassadors on what will be discussed during breakout sessions to be passed to the office of the president at the Malacanang Palace.
