THE Masungi Geopark Project won the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Action Award under the Inspire Category.

Out of 3,000 entries from over 150 countries, the Masungi Georeserve Foundation topped the competition for its youth-led efforts in combating deforestation and climate change through the restoration and protection of the Masungi landscape and parts of the Upper Marikina Watershed.

The Masungi Georeserve allows a limited number of guests to experience the trail and see the karst terrain, which may be compromised if a resort is built within its premises. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
