Two young Filipino women are breaking barriers for being recognized by the prestigious National Geographic Society for their respective initiatives in addressing some of the world’s most complex and pressing issues to date.
Youth advocate Josefa Tauli and farmer-entrepreneur Louise Mabulo were among the 24 young change makers around the globe who made it to the 2020 Young Explorer Program of the National Geographic Society.
Belonging to the Kankanaey-Ibaloi Igorot ethnic group in the Cordillera region, Tauli is a member of the Steering Committee of the Global Youth Biodiversity Network, a platform for youth participation in the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity.
