“Our work involves spiritual, mental and physical fortitude; [...] you have to be strong,” says Billie Dumaliang, who, along with her sister Ann, is a co-founder of Masungi Georeserve Foundation, a model for privately led conservation, sustainable reforestation and geotourism in the Philippines.
In conversation with Gen.T’s Lee Williamson, the Dumaliang sisters share how to cultivate courage in life or death situations, why climate activists must prioritise their health, and how you can defend a rainforest using a pair of beauty scissors and a camera.
