The project will:

🥬 Enhance forest disturbance detection and response protocols

🥬 Improve institutional capacity through technical cooperation

🥬 Support more targeted patrols and interventions

Pilot activities will be carried out in Nueva Ecija and Nueva Vizcaya, building on the success of the Forestland Management Project (2012–2024) that reforested 70,000 hectares and empowered local communities.

To safeguard water supplies amid El Niño, the DENR is intensifying watershed restoration and forest protection nationwide. By expanding patrols, accelerating reforestation, and mobilizing communities, civil society groups, and Indigenous Cultural Communities, the agency aims to keep forests healthy so they can retain water, regulate streamflow, reduce erosion, and recharge aquifers.

From narra plantations in Nueva Ecija, to mangrove planting in Masbate, to peatland rehabilitation in Caraga, DENR teams are restoring degraded ecosystems and protecting forests that sustain water resources. Secretary Mitch Cuna emphasized: “Forests are our most powerful natural infrastructure for water retention.”

To help farmers withstand the impacts of El Niño, the DENR is advancing nature‑based solutions such as bamboo plantations, soil conservation structures, and small water impounding systems. These measures conserve soil moisture, prevent erosion, and provide alternative water supplies for upland communities.

Environment Secretary Mitch Cuna emphasized: “Climate‑resilient agriculture is essential to maintaining national food and water security during severe El Niño events.”
