In line with the celebration of the International Day for Biological Diversity on May 22, the Department of Education (DepEd), in collaboration with the Biodiversity Conservation Society of the Philippines (BCSP), launched the 'Samot-Saring Buhay: A tool kit on Philippine Biodiversity' to impart appreciation and awareness of the country's rich biodiversity last May 21.

Crafted to encourage participation and leadership of teachers and learners in conservation efforts, the tool kit provides information on Philippine biodiversity, threats, and conservation efforts. It also discusses the adversity faced by biodiversity and its effect on our health, economy and resilience to hazards.
