Since 2012 People’s NICHE has campaigned to protect these ecosystems from destructive land reclamation projects, particularly around the Manila Bay area, bringing together civil society and grassroots groups to put forward an alternative vision of development that puts people and planet first. Landmark campaigns include ongoing opposition to the Bulacan Aerocity reclamation project, which is disrupting coral and mangrove ecosystems across Manila Bay. Alliance member organisations also campaign for the protection of corals and coastal areas in other parts of the country that are impacted by reclamation and other destructive projects.
