Aetas in Zambales reforest ancestral land with 62K trees

The Aeta communities of Yangil and Banawen in Zambales have restored their ancestral land through seven-year reforestation with MAD Travel.

The project aims to restore 4,000 hectares of ancestral domainAfter seven years, a once denuded mountain in the Philippines now boasts 62,000 trees.

Some agroforestry products, including cashew, tea, honey, and calamansi, are set to support the communities' livelihood. Dionisio said the forest trees used were Kupang, Narra, Yakal, Tibig, Palosapis, and Lauan. Meanwhile, people can join the effort by helping raise funds through MAD Travel's “Gift a Tree” initiative, which plants and cares for a tree in Zambales for three years when it can handle weeds and pests.
