"The biodiversity symposium is part of the Provincial Wildlife Month celebration that bears the theme "Negrense on the forefront of conserving wildlife and forests", told Lisa J. Paguntalan, Director for Field Operations, PBC Programme, Philippines Biodiversity Conservation Foundation Inc.(PBCFI).
She added that the main objective of the celebration is to generate awareness on the importance of forest and wildlife at the local level, with the main focus on schools and environment-related offices at the local government units.

It's so great that the local government in your province is doing things such as these. I hope the government in Iloilo would do the same.
ReplyDeleteBiodiversity is one of the top attractions that the Philippines can boast about. Take Palawan and Guimaras and other countless locations for example.
It is extremely important.
Information dissemination is one thing that not only the government should focus on. Our forests and wildlife are crying for our attention. And what better way to gift our children with this coming New Year than the promise of a much better caring for our environment! We have been privileged to experience nature at its best. Our children and their children deserve the same. :D
