Our Work
Daluhay uses an Ethnoecology Approach that puts biodiversity conservation at the center of Nature, Society and Culture. In partnership with different stakeholders, we work with Indigenous peoples, Farmers, Fisherfolks and Women groups to conserve and protect our natural resources from Ridge to Reef.
