Excerpt

The international scientific community recently recognized three UP professors' programs to protect mangroves forests. Professors' Rene Rollon and Maricar Samson's work on mangroves have been widely quoted by several environmental groups as a basis for the creation of better programs for mangrove restorations worldwide. On the other hand, mangrove protection advocate Dr. Jurgenne Primavera was recently named by Time Magazine as one of its 100 Heroes of the Environment. She was among 30 scientists, environmentalists and activists chosen by Time magazine as Heroes of the Environment for 2008.
