  Published in cooperation with the Leyte State University, this book tells us what is wrong with the commonly practiced methods of reforestation, how we can correct this through a technology called "Rainforestation Farming" and how communities can profit from such a venture.

 

     
  Nueva Vizcaya gives us valuable lessons in this book about how deforestation can be reversed through political will and more importantly the willingness to empower communities most directly affected by the loss of forests.

 

     
  The second book in a three volume series tells us about the experience of Negros Occidental. At the start of the 20th century, the area used to be covered with some of the lushest forests in the Philippines. A hundred years of unsustainable use however caused one of the most rapid declines in forest cover in the country. Negros Occidental however is slowly recovering, and this book tells us about the people behind this transformation and the struggles they went through.
