When Duterte won the presidency, he unveiled plans for environmental protection. But after six years, what has become of the Philippines’ rich biodiversity?

But after six years, what has become of the Philippines’ rich environment and biodiversity? Was the tough talk against environmental violators – from polluters to destructive miners and illegal loggers – effective in protecting and conserving the country’s natural resources?
