Mining firm, green groups bond for new mangroves
Excerpt
Marine conservationists have found an unlikely ally in a mining firm that embarked on a community-supported mangrove reforestation program to save the critically disturbed ecosystem in a coastal area of this fishing town. About 90 percent of the 12,500 mangrove propagules planted by residents in a 5-hectare area in the villages of Wakat and Talisay last year have survived, according to Gladess Dianne Buot, forester of Philsaga Mining Corp., based in Rosario town in Agusan del Sur province.
