Through the rainforestation strategy initiated by Haribon Foundation in Sablayan, the Alangan used an approach to restore their forest within their ancestral land as close to its original state. Assited by Haribon and funded by Value Frontier, an organization based in Japan, they restored 1 hectare of forest and will maintain the restoration site within the next three years. In the process, the community will benefit during the planting and maintenance activities. In the long term, they will also reap the rewards of forest services such as clean air and water, protection from flooding and soil erosion, food, water for irrigation, among many other tangible and intangible forest benefits.
