Heeding the call of the national government to combat global warming and climate change through massive tree-planting activities, particularly to plant mangroves along the coastal areas, a mining firm is set to plant thousands of mangroves under the government’s “Adopt A Mangrove Plantation Program.” The project will be located along the wide coastal areas of the municipality of Barobo in Surigao del Sur province. In the “Adopt A Mangrove Plantation Program,” the Department of Environment and Natural Resources will sign a memorandum of agreement with the company.
