Protecting the biodiversity-rich Coral Triangle needs the combined efforts of the government and private sector, and should be a top priority if the region wants to sustain the area's vast fishery resource, experts yesterday said. The Fist Coral Triangle Business Summit kicked off at the Makati Shangri-La with speakers highlighting the need to protect the area, which is home to over a third of all the world's coral reefs. Mrs. Arroyo said governments want to show that environmental protection, economic growth and poverty reduction "can coexist side-by-side and mutually prosper by exploring business initiatives that support both."
