The Philippines ranks among the few countries in the world having a wide range of plant and animal species. But due to increasing air pollution, natural resource degradation, and the declining quality of coastal and marine resources, the country's rich biodiversity is severely threatened.

Local government units (LGUs) in the country are at the forefront in the campaign to arrest the alarming rate of environmental degradation in the Philippines. The World Bank supports this campaign through projects that focus on improving natural resource management, and strengthening institutional capacity at the national and local government levels for promoting sustainable rural and urban development.
