Sadly, most of the forests in Negros have vanished. Agriculture and logging have taken their toll and today forests cover only four per cent of the Island. 150 years ago, forests covered 95 per cent of the Island! In 1984 a group of concerned citizens started a ǃÚSave our Forestǃ٠movement. This grew into the Negros Forest and Ecological Foundation. Since then, NFEFI and teams of volunteers have worked tirelessly to reforest hundreds of hectares, and have established a breeding program of endangered species plus numerous biodiversity conservation, education and research projects - South Capitol Rd., Bacolod City.
