Mission Blue. (2023, April 18). Restoration and Protection in Action: A Year of Success for the Sulubaaï Environmental Foundation on Pangatalan Island, the Philippines.

The Sulubaaï Environmental Foundation, founded by Fréd Tardieu, a French business developer, has been dedicated to restoring the Pangatalan Island, and other Philippine islands since 2011. This year, in 2023, the foundation has already successfully completed many restoration projects. For starters, they have established three MPA’s, marine protected areas, that cover over 760 hectares of land. Within these MPA’s, 200 hectares have been labeled as completely off limits for taking resources from. Further, the Foundation has made plans to build a Environmental Education & Restoration Centre which will help the surrounding communities.
The foundation has done many impressive projects that will help restore the Philippines environment. I think their hard work and dedication will definitely have visible results and help many of the local communities inhabiting the land. This topic relates to environmental science because it focuses on the restoration of damaged and overused land. The foundation must have done some research on how best to help the environment and this is the study of how to ensure environmental restoration.
This seems like a great step toward sustainability. The preservation of land and natural resources as well as the Environmental Education & Restoration Centre are great ways to protect our environment and spread information about why protecting it is so important. Do you think other parts of the world should implement these kinds of changes?
Hi! Thanks for reading my article. To answer your question, yes I think it would be very beneficial for other parts of the world to also implement similar changes so that can help restore the environment.
