Amid the rising threats to the coastal communities throughout the archipelago from intensified storms, rising sea levels, shifting coastlines, and infrastructure developments that challenge science based conservation initiatives, hundreds of stakeholders from across the country will converge in Quezon City for the Philippine Mangrove Conference 2026. Set on March 24 to 26, anchored on the theme “Ensuring Accountable Pathways for Resilient Communities,” the inaugural national conference organized by the Global Mangrove Alliance (GMA) Philippines together with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Biodiversity Management Bureau will integrate science, policy, innovation, and community voices into the gathering.
