The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) will be launching a nationwide mangrove and watershed tree-planting program on May 26 themed “Puno Ko, Sagip-Buhay Mo.”
The mangrove and watershed rehabilitation program, which will be undertaken in 17 key coastal and watershed communities across the country, is the first of this grandeur to be attempted by the Bureau with the involvement of multi-sectoral participants including local government units (LGUs), non-government agencies (NGAs) and non-government organizations (NGOs).
The threat of climate change has seriously affected coastal communities. Fisherfolks are complaining of minimal catch in addition to muddy odor and flavor. Planting of trees in coastal and watershed areas would help in protecting the shoreline from the destructive effects of soil erosion due to prolonged rainfall.
Let us take time to coordinate with our respective local BFAR offices for information about the tree-planting activity. Let us do our part in saving Mother Nature.
