Youth-led conservation group Masungi Georeserve has won first place at the inaugural Water Changemaker Awards for its efforts to protect and restore the Upper Marikina Watershed from large-scale threats, such as quarrying, land trafficking, and timber poaching.

Global Water Partnership chair Howard Bamsey said Masungi Georeserve’s story is an “inspiring campaign for watershed restoration and reforestation led by the next generation of water changemakers.”

“We continue to urge our leaders to make the right decisions for the Filipino people. We also continue to engage and dialogue with different sectors, governments, local communities, and indigenous groups to join this movement and make a stand,” she added. Winners and finalists of the awards were evaluated based on four criteria: extent to which the initiative has contributed to climate resilience and water decisions, magnitude and longevity of change, depth of learning through crisis, and breadth of collaborations with stakeholders.
