For World Wildlife Day 2025, the Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS) Project through the GEF-UNDP-DENR marked three major milestones for Philippine biodiversity: ✅ A ceremonial MOA signing between DENR and NCIP, reaffirming shared governance of biodiversity with Indigenous Peoples. ✅ A tripartite ceremonial MOA signing among BusinessPeople, Inc., MAO-CADT, and NCIP Region III, promoting equitable access to genetic resources. ✅ The launch of the ABS Clearinghouse, a centralized digital hub for genetic resource tracking and benefit-sharing. These initiatives are paving the way for a more ethical, inclusive, and sustainable approach to conservation
