Sulubaaï Foundation

Sulubaaï Environment Foundation is a Philippine-based non-profit organization dedicated to conserve, protect, and restore the natural resources of Palawan through environmentally sustainable practices and active ecosystems restoration. It is a private initiative funded by eco-tourism.

In 2011, Sulubaaï Environment Foundation was born out of a common love for the ocean and desire to help the local communities of Palawan. We decided to implement the first project site on Pangatalan Island.

At that time, we found the island in various states of damage – trees were cut, mangroves thinned, sand on the main beach was sold, and coral reefs were severely destroyed.

Our first task was to prevent further damages : replant thousands of plants and collect seeds around the island for mangrove regrowth.

In March 2016, we added a new dimension to the project and started to focus our efforts on 45 hectares of Co-Managed Marine Protected Area (MPA) surrounding Pangatalan island. We started protecting, surveying and restoring marine ecosystems.

Our projects include: coral reef restoration, mangrove regrowth, re-vegetation, education and eco-tourism.

Our goal is to develop and implement sustainable ways on and around Pangatalan Island. We try to be as much as we can impact free on the environment and we financially support our projects through eco-tourism on the island.
