The regional Workshop on Advancing the Application of Assisted Natural Regeneration for Effective, Low-Cost Forest Restoration" held in Bohol, the Philippines, 19-22 May 2009, was only one milestone in the long history of ANR activities in the Philippines. Over the past three decades a number of ANR "champions" have emerged from the Philippines, demonstrating immense energy and enthusiasm.

Several of these individuals were instrumental in the success of the three-year project supported by FAO to promote the application of ANR in the Philippines.
