Sierra Madre: Fighting to save what’s left of a vital rainforest in the Philippines – BBC News
It is estimated that about 90% of the Sierra Madre rainforest, which protects the Philippines from the worst of climate change, is gone due to mining, quarrying and illegal logging.
It’s regularly hit by powerful storms, landslides, and flooding.
Replanting the trees in the Sierra Madre is said to be long, difficult, and even a dangerous job.
It has become a home to a conflict between people needing to make a living and people wanting to preserve the rainforest.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Go. Cut more and leave the whole mountain bare of trees. This will be the fate of this God forsaken country. There is no hope. Young Filipinos try to get out and don't come back. The country is hopeless.

If only for their stamina and knowledge of the terrains, the rebel returnees and surrenderees would be a big help in reforestation… that is, if our Govt is thinking on its feet, if leaders are dynamic and astute enough to make the time to plan and fund it. Instead, it chooses a path of no return. Ineptitude doesn't have a place in any decent and self-healing society!

You will not surprised that this country is still poor even thou it is rich in natural resources. From below to the top officials of government are viciously corrupt and greedy. You can buy in local online very fine hardwood and the government does nothing. That is the way in the Philippines. The land of corruption to the finest. Not even one illegal logger goes to jail. amazing.

As long as our people elect corrupt government officials the illegal logging and quarries will still continue because either they themselves or members of their families own or protect such illegal operations, the one shown on the video are just small illegal operation compared with operation done by the official themselves

The government does not take the poor people who cut down trees seriously. Most of them are their acquaintances or relatives. Now the state of the forest is at the point of no return!
