[Title] => 12.8% of RP’s biodiversity legally protected
[Summary] => Only 12.8 percent of the total 250 million hectares of land area and archipelagic waters that serve as home to over 50,000 species of plants and animals in the country is currently legally "protected," the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said.
This came as the Philippine hosted the 3rd Southeast Asia Regional Meeting of IUCN-World Commission on Protected Areas (IUCN-WCA), which aims to establish stronger partnerships in conserving biodiversity areas and rehabilitating those already in the red due to continued destruction in the region.

[Title] => Big dams opposed
[Summary] => The Ecological Society of the Philippines (ESP) is calling for a total log ban and a stop to the construction of large dams in the country.
The recent heavy flooding that destroyed the Quirino Bridge, isolating Ilocos Norte and Baguio City from the rest of Luzon was attributed to the unabated logging that continues to threaten whatever little is left of the country’s rainforests.

[Title] => Role of civil society in sustainable development cited
[Summary] => The worldwide recognition that there is a need to change the way we treat our environment in order to continue enjoying quality life is increasing. Lessons from environmental problems that affected the human health have made people realize this. Hence, action-oriented programs, projects, and activities that would avoid and mitigate environmental harm are being pursued.
The way forward is adoption of ecologically sustainable development.
