In support to the #KalikasanNaman, the Provincial Government of La Unionβs forefront program on fostering ecological integrity, and clean and healthy environment, the Provincial Government -Environment and Natural Resources (PG-ENRO) strengthen its programs and initiatives on environmental advocacies through celebrating environmental events such as World Wetlands Day.
Celebrated annually every 2nd of February, this yearβs World Wetlands Day theme is βWetlands Action for People and Natureβ highlighting the importance of actions that ensure the conservation and sustainable management of wetlands and to raise global awareness about its vital role for people and the planet.
With this, the PG-ENRO headed by Enp. Annalyn Rosario-Valddez in partnership with the Local Government Unit of Luna led by the designated Municipal Environmental and Natural Resources (MENRO) Alfonso Viernes together with the Barangay Council and Health Workers (BHW), 4Ps beneficiaries, Pila Elementary School and Nalvo Sur Elementary School jointly conducted mangrove planting on Feb 2, 11, 18 & 25, 2022. One hundred nineteen (119) participants were able to plant 870 mangroves in the wetland area of Sitio Cabugbugan, Pila, Luna, La Union. A Total of 119 participants joined.
Wetlands are essential in providing water-related ecosystem services. They help purify water, provide shelter for juvenile fish and other animals, protect biodiversity and many more. Thus, PG-ENRO encourages every kaprobinsiaan to engage themselves in protecting wetlands in our province.
