Apayao, UNESCO recognized forest conservation

By Nidz Godino

“As stewards of Apayaos Biosphere Reserve, we aspire to inspire other educational hubs for conservation and sustainable development across Philippines and globally,” Apayao Governor Elias Bulut Jr., said Apayao province received international recognition as UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for its outstanding efforts in conserving its forests and natural environment.

Announcement  came during  36th session of  International Coordinating Council of the Man and Biosphere Programme (ICC MAB) of UNESCO on July 5, 2024, held in Agadir, Morocco.

Award  marks Apayao as  protected area dedicated to biodiversity conservation.

Journey  towards becoming  UNESCO biosphere reserve began when Apayao Province discovered  first active Philippine Eagle nest in Luzon within its forests.

Discovery  spurred  Provincial Government of Apayao into action, collaborating with organizations such as  Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) and United States Forest Service (USFS) to navigate rigorous UNESCO requirements through preparation, training and documentation.

Efforts  suffered delays during COVID-19 pandemic as restrictions hampered many of  needed processes.

Bulut upon accepting  UNESCO award, described it as  monumental achievement not only for Apayao but for  entire nation.
