The Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary (AMWS) and its rich peatlands plays a vital role in the Philippines’ rich ecosystem. In this feature, we learned about the ongoing threats surrounding the sprawling 41-hectare Agusan Marsh through the eyes of the Manobo tribe—an indigenous community with ancestral lands scattered across Mindanao.

The fight to preserve these wetlands is far from over. Watch until the end to learn more about how you can help.
