DENR to restore Boracay wetland recovered from Island settlers
Excerpt
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said restoration work would soon begin in one of the nine wetlands on Boracay Island after it was recovered from illegal occupants. In a statement on Tuesday, the agency said it cleared the 8.5-hectare Wetland No. 6 in Barangay Manoc-Manoc of illegal structures, with its occupants to be relocated to lands awarded to them by the government. Natividad Bernardino, Boracay Inter-Agency Rehabilitation Management Group general manager, said the development was “hitting two birds with one stone.”
