Fintech giant GCash has partnered with climate tech developer Wovoka Philippines to plant over one million native trees in Mindoro and Camarines Norte, according to a report by YugaTech. The initiative aims to restore forest cover and support local biodiversity in the two provinces.
The tree-planting project will focus on native species suited to the local ecosystem, with the goal of enhancing carbon sequestration and providing livelihood opportunities for communities. GCash and Wovoka expect the effort to contribute to the Philippines' reforestation targets while promoting sustainable practices.
This collaboration underscores the growing role of private sector partnerships in addressing environmental challenges. GCash continues to expand its sustainability initiatives, while Wovoka leverages its expertise in climate tech to drive measurable impact on the ground.
