EDC BINHI is a forest restoration and biodiversity conservation program with a mission to protect, conserve, and propagate threatened Philippine native tree species, collaborating with academic institutions, NGOs, and government partners. Since launching in 2008, EDC has partnered with 88 forest communities to plant more than 10,000 hectares nationwide, making it the largest private sector-led reforestation initiative. The program supports over 100 community associations nationwide, providing sustainable livelihood opportunities through agroforestry practices and enterprise development. As of December 2023, BINHI partners have established 37 arboreta and 163 tree parks nationwide that serve as safe havens for threatened native species.
