WATCH: Province of Ifugao featured in DENR's "Our Fragile Earth" Documentary.

Cordillera - The province of Ifugao in the northern part of Cordillera is featured in the 6th episode of a documentary series called "Our Fragile Earth: Protected Areas of the Philippines" which is hosted by Senator Loren Legarda and directed by internationally acclaimed director Brillante Mendoza. 

The documentary series is conceptualized by Legarda and produced by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), consists of 12 short documentaries that were shot by Mendoza on location and took two years to finish. 


"This series aims to educate citizens or our protected areas, which are critical in conserving our biodiversity that is essential to our existence and survival. Through this documentary series, Filipinos will learn more about our protected areas--richness of these areas and the challenges in conservation.  We want Filipinos to appreciate the unique natural heritage that we have and enjoin everyone to protect them," Legarda said. 


Protected areas are identified portions of land and water set aside by reasons of their unique physical and biological significance, managed to enhance biological diversity and protected against destructive human exploitation. 

There are 240 identified protected ares in the country including the Ifugao Rice Terraces.
