Nilbert Marquez, 28, is a Dumagat from Quezon province, stands on a dried-up streambed, sharing stories of the changes he has witnessed since his first day as a forest ranger at Masungi. During his first year, this stream alone would only hold water for about three months each year. Today, it retains water for up to six consecutive months – a clear sign of improvement brought about by consistent and effective conservation efforts. #MasungiGeoreserve #WorldIndigenousPeoplesDay
