Preservation via Education: Meet the Bihiya Warriors
Our Book of flaura and fauna in the Kingdom of Bihiya.
The Bihiya Warriors have not only been busy planting, they are working on their archive of Flora and Fauna in the watershed area where they live.
As they study the species in the Bihiya, they bring their own stories and knowledge from their forefathers of medicinal plants, crops, trees, plants and animals. This archive is valuable to understand better how to not only rehabilitate the area but to share this knowledge with others.
Bihiya Warriors x Mambacayao Youth Group Exchanging Knowledge From the Bukids to Dagat:
The Bihiya Warriors have performed learning exchanges & activity sessions with the GOODLand youth group from the island of Mambacayao Dako.
The Mambacayao youth teach coral planting/rehabilitation and the importance of our sea. The Bihiya Warriors, in return, teach the islanders about tree planting and the importance of maintaining watershed areas.
Filmmaking Workshop:
Another cross-group collaboration was our 2-day filmmaking workshop hosted by Cloyd Ribo from the GOODLand team. This resulted in a short film made in 1 day called “Sugdan Ko” (It Starts With Me). This was a collaboration between a local filmmaker, the GOODLand team and the youth from Mambacayao and, of course, the Bihiya Warriors.
