For thirty years, since the late 1980’s, Negros Forest and Ecological Foundation, Inc. (NFEFI), has reforested no less than 1,000 hectares. Their community projects, education programs, and forest protection programs, have successfully transformed communities and lives. The founding of the Biodiversity Conservation Centre (BCC) at the heart of Bacolod City, through the guidance of William Oliver, was the foundation’s showcase project.
