The Del Carmen Mangrove Reserve in Surigao del Norte is “headed for bigger things’ as it vies for a global recognition, the Climate Change Commission (CCC) said.
The Del Carmen Mangrove Reserve in Surigao del Norte is “headed for bigger things’ as it vies for a global recognition, the Climate Change Commission said.The mangrove reserve site was officially nominated for inclusion to the Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance list, the CCC has disclosed.
“We rely on these mangroves for a lot of things: shoreline stabilization, surge protection, food security, flood control, water purification, groundwater replenishment and climate change mitigation,” Borje said. “The process of getting ready to get the Del Carmen Mangrove Forest be recognized as a Wetland of International Importance can be traced back as early as 2011. We started with the CCC program Ecotown that allowed us to understand and appreciate the value of the mangrove forest,” said Del Carmen Mayor Alfredo Coro II.
According to Borje, the CCC has conducted extensive targeted research with the Department of Science and Technology -National Research Council of the Philippines, DENR-Biodiversity Management Bureau, and Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources , and are currently updating the Ramsar Information System to be forwarded to UN Ramsar for evaluation.
