A calm and stunning sight: morning mists drifting over the Leyte Sab-a Basin Peatland.
The Leyte Sab-a Basin Peatlands is a vast wetland ecosystem known for its rich biodiversity, carbon-storing peat soils, and calm, mist-covered landscapes. It plays a vital role in flood control, climate regulation, and supporting local wildlife and communities.
The peatland spans across parts of the municipalities of Alangalang, Santa Fe, and San Miguel in Leyte and forms one of the two major confirmed peatland areas in the Philippines.
