The Philippine Geothermal Production Company's (PGPC) ECO-STAR program is helping to rehabilitate the beach and mangrove areas in Tiwi, Albay. The program focuses on combating declining biodiversity by integrating education, community engagement, and sustainable practices.
Mat RichterIn a small town in Albay, the marine environment houses diverse aquatic species crucial for biodiversity. Unfortunately, the climate crisis is set to worsen the reduction of diversity in marine ecosystems, which prompts the need to adopt sustainable practices and preserve with urgency the resources in coastal regions.
"Our holistic approach to coastal conservation not only focuses on environmental protection but also on improving the livelihoods of local families. By integrating education, community engagement, and sustainable practices, we aim to create lasting benefits for both the environment and the people,” said Napoleon Saporsantos Jr., president at PGPC.
Meanwhile, since 2017, PGCP said it has contributed to restoring the Bariis River in the town through coastal clean-up activities, solid waste management, tree planting, and awareness campaigns. This river, formerly polluted, now has one of the most acceptable qualities recognized by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Environmental Management Bureau.
