Forest Guards Film
Philippines | The Forest Guards Film project addresses the urgent need for ecological protection and safeguarding the well-being of our forest guards in the Philippines, a country tagged as the deadliest for environment defenders. Despite having healthy forests predominantly on Indigenous lands, these communities remain vulnerable. The project employs a strategic framework encompassing Arts and Documentary, Awareness-Raising, Urgent Mobilization, Capacity Development, Coalition-Building, Data Storytelling, Legal Assistance, and Public Policy. Acknowledging the important roles of the forest guards, there are insufficient knowledge and policies for the welfare of these defenders. Therefore, the project integrates the arts and public policies, fostering a holistic approach to championing these vital environmental protectors.
