We need nature for our livelihood. Aquaculture depends on clean water to survive and thrive. It is in our best interest to preserve the environment so we can keep on producing fish. The Sierra Madre and its 500-kilometer vast range stretching along the eastern portion of Luzon served as blanket protection from the recent wrath of super typhoon “Karding,” which devastated the rice-producing regions. If it wasn’t for the trees and slope of the mountain range, damage and losses from the typhoon could have been worse.
