Often called the Philippines' last frontier, Palawan is both paradise and battleground. Its towering limestone cliffs, turquoise lagoons, and wild reefs are always topping "world's best" lists, fueling a rapid rise in tourism. But conservation teams are fighting to keep it wild—protecting mangroves, establishing MPAs, and teaching sustainable practices to balance human impacts on this natural wonderland.
Coron is where WWII history meets ecological innovation. Its sunken warships have become thriving artificial reefs, while its crystal-clear lakes and limestone cliffs are next level. At the same time, local projects like the first regenerative farm in Coron are pioneering the next generation of sustainable food—raising fish, vegetables, and livestock in closed-loop systems that support both people and the planet.
