The birds and the bees (No, it’s not what you think…)

If the Philippines was a human head with hair, it would be nearly bald, and losing more hair by the day. Forest cover is just 18% of land, down from 97% in the early 1900s and 50+ percent 50 years ago.

I know that bald men sometimes look cool, but unlike the human head, the forest cover translates to the land’s virility so bald lands devoid of forests are like men firing blanks. Unlike bald men (or so they like to claim).
