The Ifugao Rice Terraces: Saving a national treasure

The Ifugao Rice Terraces are more than breathtaking landscapes. They are living monuments of human ingenuity, hand-carved over 2,000 years ago. Declared as a National Treasure, these terraces embody the deep bond between culture and nature. Yet today, the “Eighth Wonder of the World” faces urgent threats: climate change, deforestation, and failing irrigation systems. Farming, once a proud heritage, has also become a struggle to sustain.

Ifugao Governor Jerry Dalipog shares how the terraces remain at the heart of the Ifugao identity, while Polish Author Maciej Podhjski shares his mission to save the national treasure by writing a book.
