Las Piñas-Parañaque Wetland Park (LPPWP) is recognized as Metro Manila's last coastal frontier, serving as a sanctuary for over 160 bird species and numerous fish and mangrove species. This Ramsar site plays a crucial role in local fisheries and acts as a buffer against climate change impacts. In March 2025, the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) proposed development plans for the wetland, which were met with public outcry and subsequently retracted. Conservationists emphasize the ecological significance of LPPWP, highlighting its role in food sustainability and climate resilience. Despite legal protections, threats from pollution and potential reclamation projects persist, prompting ongoing advocacy for the wetland's preservation. Recent legislative efforts, including the LPPWP Protection Act, aim to enhance its protection, but concerns remain about future development pressures.
