Forest or Fortress? What kind of world do we want to live in—a fortress world of concrete and division, or a forest world of balance and sustainability?

The fight isn’t over. How can we take action today? Tune in now and be part of the movement!
Follow Forest Foundation on Facebook and Instagram at @forestfoundationPH and on X at @pcp4nbs, and if you have an idea for a nature-based solution in your own community, visit their website pcp4nbs.forestfoundation.ph.
