The globally important Mt. Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary (MHRWS) and Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (TRNP) have been added to the prestigious list of Southeast Asia?s most treasured parks, Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Ramon J.P. Paje announced on Wednesday.-DENR website
These are the two sites in the Philippines considered to be rich in terms of endemism and high in biodiversity. You can find species of plants and animals which cannot be found in the other parts of the world. This deserved to be included in the list of the most precious natural resources in South East Asia. Philippine Government, Specially the Biodiversity Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, is aiming strict laws and policy in protecting these two sites through Republic Act 7586 which is also known as National Integrated Protected Areas System Act or NIPAS ACT. It is an act providing for the establishment and management of NIPAS defining its scope and coverage, and for other purposes. In this way, there will be a strict protection and guidance within the boundary of the area, proper information, education and communication to the communities near the protected area. In this way, participation and opening the awareness of the Filipinos regarding the natural resources is increased. More info about NIPAS ACT: http://www.gov.ph/1992/06/01/republic-act-no-7586/

Yes Rohan... It is indeed a collaboration between the people and the local government unit. It will be more effective helping hand in hand. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for reporting Jekk. Caring for protected areas is collective responsibility of public & govt alike.
Both are the caretakers.
