8 Established on January 15, 1992 by and for Civil Society Organizations. FOCUSED ON THE ENVIRONMENT: FPE aims to reverse the rapid destruction of the Philippines natural resources by initiating programs and activities that strengthen the role of NGOs, POs and local communities in the responsible management of the ecosystem.

9 Rainforestation: a farming system using the combination of native and agricultural crops. Objectives: To replace the destructive forms of farming systems; Protect existing forest biodiversity and enhance degraded and marginal areas; Create buffer zones and bio-fencing around primary forests, critical watersheds, and sacred and protected areas; Help maintain the water cycle and soil productivity; Provide community livelihood and stable higher incomes to individual and community Rainforestation adaptors.

10 Rainforestation: a paradigm shift of forest restoration (Milan 2010) Typology of Rainforestation: according to land-use classification; Rainforestation farming Urban Rainforestation Landscape Rainforestation Tree plantation and timber production Forest rehabilitation, corridor, and bio-fencing According to cultural dimension and practices Rainforestation in ICCAs According to Educational purposes Biodiversity Reserve Sanctuaries for High Schools
