El Nido, Palawan—Malampaya Foundation Inc. (MFI) an partners kicked-off the Environmental Youth Action Camps (EYAC) for the year 2025 in El Nido where some 60 youths from the municipalities of Linapacan and El Nido converged to learn basic ecology, biodiversity, conservation, environmental legal framework and threats to natural resources.
The educational camps, held regularly in all of MFI’s conservation sites, is an important component of the foundation’s marine biodiversity conservation program to slowly build the next generation of environmental stewards.
Participants from different schools and communities are given actual exposure to coastal ecosystems (mangroves, seagrass, corals) and a marine protected area within their backyard, and go home with realistic action plans they can implement in their communities.
