The Sierra Madre acts as a natural shield, protecting Luzon from destructive storms, floods, and landslides. It is also home to countless species of plants and animals, while also providing resources for communities nearby.

The main threats are mostly human activities: illegal logging, mining, and large-scale infrastructure projects. These activities harm the environment and the people who depend on the mountains' protection and resources.

Without the Sierra Madre, Luzon would have faced and will continue to face frequent and stronger storms, heavier flooding, and greater loss of resources. Many communities would lose their natural protection and livelihood, which can also lead to famine.

Small actions like raising awareness, supporting environmental campaigns, reforestation initiatives, and staying informed could already make an impact on Sierra Madre's situation. We strongly encourage you to check and participate in our ongoing fundraiser dedicated to conservation and restoration efforts in the Sierra Madre. We greatly appreciate your contribution, no matter how small.
