DENR, private partner to rehab, revive Boracay’s ‘dead forest’
Excerpt
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and its private sector partner, the Boracay Tubi System Inc., will soon begin rehabilitation activities on Boracay Island’s Wetland No. 6, also known as “dead forest.” This, after the DENR successfully recovered from illegal occupants the 8.5-hectare wetland in Barangay Manoc-Manoc. A total of 31 families, belonging to the Tumandok tribe, have started to transfer to their government-awarded land on the island. The tribesmen were issued last March individual certificates of land ownership award (CLOAs) by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR).
