| Mainit is a village in Bontoc municipality in Mountain Province in the Cordillera region of the Philippines. It is nestled deep in the mountains. |
 |
| Mainit is about an hour's drive from Bontoc, or a three-hour hike... |
 |
| These pictures were taken during a fire-plagued dry season in April 2010. The scars from the mountain fires blight the serene landscape. |
 |
| The ricefields of Guina-ang with the hamlets of Dalican in the smoke-shrouded distance. |
 |
| Fires have dried out the swiftly-rushing streams. |
 |
| The ricefields are green but they are getting parched. |
 |
| Why burn? |
 |
| The ricefields of Chakkang amidst the desecrated steep mountainsides. |
 |
| A pine grove holds sway. |
 |
| How green was my valley? |
 |
| Our mountains, our fields, our home. Let us protect them. From fires, from mines, from lies. |
 |
| Blueberry shrubs thriving on the stonewalls of Tuvo ricefields. |
 |
| The hotspring continues to give forth life. |
 |
| How many times must the summers burn, Before the springs run dry? |
 |
| Save our village,our home. Stop the burning. |
 |
| You young people, educate the old folks at home. |
 |
For their sake, and the future. |
