Pangasinan bags 2nd Likas Yaman Award
LINGAYEN—Pangasinan bagged the 2012 Likas Yaman Award in Region 1 for the second time in a row, this time for its mangrove reforestation project.
The award was received by Acting Governor Jose Ferdinand Calimlim from Department of Environment and Natural Resources Executive Director Samuel Peñafiel during the culmination program of the Environment Month held Friday in San Fernando City, La Union.
The mangrove reforestation project, adjudged as the region’s Best LGU-Initiated Environmental Project (provincial category), involved massive implementation of a province-wide mangrove reforestation projects, establishment of mangrove information and learning center, construction of a mangrove nursery, and the promotion of Coastal Resource Management advocacy.
