The ecotown initiative spearheaded by the Climate Change Commission (CCC) inspired a town in Surigao to preserve and prepare its mangrove forest for global recognition. Taking a page from the CCC's National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP), the local government of Del Carmen ramped up efforts to protect the Del Carmen Mangrove Reserve and established the Siargao Island Protected Landscapes and Seascapes (Siplas).
