The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said it will adopt a US-funded system to track the activities of environmental inspectors on the resort island of Boracay. It said the system is known as the Lawin Forest and Biodiversity Protection System. Lawin was introduced to the Philippines through the Biodiversity and Watersheds Improved for Stronger Economy and Ecosystem Resilience (B+Wiser) Program of the DENR, in partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which is about to be completed this year.
