Fish loss exacerbates poverty and hunger in coastal communities. For fisherfolk in Daram, an island town in Samar, reducing fish loss is a fight for survival. Watch Rappler’s documentary on Thursday, August 28, and join the conversation @here.

Rappler environment reporter Iya Gozum talks with Ann Dumaliang, co-founder of Masungi Georeserve Foundation, about watershed protection, the need for third-party audits on restoration and flood control projects, and new ways of sustainable forest management.

The answers are not new. What never gets old though is the warmth of the stories from a community bucking against global statistics.
