Who We Are

An Environmental Planner from Finland stumbled upon these hardwood trees

while looking for the best renewable local construction materials in Palawan for a Self-Sufficient House - just to find out they are already gone! Just 20 years ago you could have built your house from 70-years lasting super durable Hardwood. And they did it too much indeed...

In a desperate one-man-effort he tried to find a way to save these jewels of nature. 4 inspired Palawan locals joined the call and together we founded

Saving the Wonder Trees Association Inc.

Now we need YOUR HELP to make this a thousand-people-effort and bring back alive the greatest Natural Resource of the Philippines: The Philippine Endemic Hardwood Species of Great Beauty with Superior Durability & Strength!
