A true wilderness reserve, the Philippine archipelago boasts one of the richest biodiversities on the planet: tens of thousands of species, half of which are found nowhere else. Nestled on the island of Luzon, Mount Tapulao is a tropical paradise, still largely unknown to science, but also a symbol of the climatic and human threats that endanger these fragile ecosystems.
For the first time, an international team of scientists, guided by naturalist climbers, is embarking on a groundbreaking expedition to inventory its extraordinary flora and fauna. Their mission is to understand the upheavals affecting various species and transform this place into a protected reserve. Through breathtaking images, "Tapulao: A Mountain to Protect" sheds light on the scientific challenges of preserving this natural treasure for future generations.
