Tawi-Tawi's geographical location makes it difficult for local and foreign tourists alike to experience and explore. It being located in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, makes it even harder to be considered a vacation destination because of the rampant news of aggression and security issues. Unknown to many, however, is the fact that Tawi-Tawi is an untamed group of paradise islands.
WE aim to connect, share, reach out, and inspire youth groups (with pilot community in Tawi-Tawi, Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao ARMM Philippines) to support community-based environmental conservation efforts through information and education campaigns. To promote volunteerism and inspire a ripple effect that will eventually create a wave of change in Coastal Communities.

New Specie of Owl Discovered in Tawi-Tawi, Philippines
A photo taken in February and released by the Biodiversity Conservation
Programme (BCP) shows one of the ten new species of owl -- Ninox-Reyi --
found in Tawi-Tawi, on the southern island of Mindanao. Scientists and
birdwatchers discovered the ten new owl species in the Philippines,
using advanced recording equipment that can distinguish between their
hoots. - (photo courtesy of AFP with the following news article @ http://www.afp.com/en/news/topstories/new-owl-species-discovered-philippines )
