🌿 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤!

A new academic year is here, and we’re excited to welcome both familiar faces and our newest Iskolar ng Bayan! 💚🌻

To celebrate the start of the semester, Forest Finds by AFFS-UPLB is reopening pre-orders for our 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 collection. Whether you’re getting your first 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 shirt or adding another piece to your collection, this is the perfect time to support Philippine biodiversity while wearing it with pride.

🪡 𝐀 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧

The Philippines is a tapestry of life, shaped by time, ecology, and evolution. Its endemic and endangered species are the threads that hold this living fabric together.

𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐒-𝐔𝐏𝐋𝐁 proudly presents 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬, a wearable collection inspired by flora unique to our islands:

𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐤 – An endangered, endemic medium-sized tree (16–20 m) found in Batangas, Mindoro, and Cavite. Inhabiting coastal forests and limestone ridges, it exhibits xerophytic traits, including specialized trichomes, to survive dry, marginal conditions.

𝐒𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐨 – An endangered, endemic tree often found in coastal or ultramafic soils in the northeastern Sierra Madre. One of the three Philippine ironwood species, it bears striking red flowers, sometimes flowering at less than 1 m tall, hence the epithet fruticosus, meaning bushy or shrubby.

𝐊𝐚𝐩𝐚-𝐤𝐚𝐩𝐚 – An endemic epiphytic shrub of the Melastomataceae family. Its small pink to coral-red flowers grow in grape-like clusters, and its succulent, four-angled stems often droop under the weight of its heavy inflorescences.
Each piece embodies a story of resilience, place, and identity.

🛍️ Pre-orders are now open and will run until July 25.
