Across the Philippine archipelago thrives an extraordinary diversity of native trees the living pillars of the nation's forest ecosystems. From the towering dipterocarps of the lowland forests to the resilient species of the uplands, these trees sustain biodiversity, safeguard watersheds, regulate the climate, and support the livelihoods of countless communities. For generations, they have shaped the country's natural heritage and cultural identity, nurturing life, and sustaining landscapes. This book, the 4th Philippine Native Trees, stands as a testament to the shared commitment of foresters, conservationists, educators, communities, and advocates who share a common vision: to restore and safeguard the Philippines' native forests.
