Abstract:
The Ikalahan Ancestral Domain is an important watershed, a rich biodiversity sanctuary, and a source of various ecosystem services to its immediate and downstream communities. For the Ikalahans, trees are important indicators in determining their community’s ecological health. The greater the tree cover and the lesser the barren land, the more ecosystem services are produced in terms of reducing soil and water runoff, increasing water and air quality, improving micro-climate and sequestering carbon.
