We'll be posting our planned activities and appeals to other groups, concerned individuals and government organizations.
Giving focus on the delicate environmental state of the island of Cebu. Helping in our own small way for a more sustainable
place but keeping it's environmental stage in balance.

place with in the Province of Cebu for a cleanup, improvement or possible tree planting project.
Sometimes we join other groups for the same purpose.

~Everyday is Earth Day~ The island of Cebu has 14 endemic bird
species and subspecies. Tabunan forest is a unique type of natural limestone forest in Central
Cebu. It was thought to be the sole remaining habitat for some of the worlds most
endangered birds including the Cebu Black Shama (Copsychus cebuensis), the Cebu Flowerpecker
(Dicaeum quadricolor) and the Cebu Hanging Parakeet (Loriculus philippensis
chrysonotus). This forest also holds the largest known stand of the Cebu Cinnamon
Tree (Cinnamomum cebuense). It was also believed that the Tabunan Forest was
the last known source of native plant propagules for future forest restoration programmes.
