MANILA, Philippines - Telecommunications firm Globe Telecom and the Cordillera Conservation Trust once again joined forces to help restore the Cordillera region's forests.

Over 300 hectares of the region's forest reserve are lost yearly to fire, illegal logging and land conversion, based on estimates of the Environment Department.
