The CLEAR partnership has always endeavor to provide a venue
for stakeholders to exchange information and discuss current
and emerging issues relevant to the conservation of Laguna
de Bay.
To extend the reach of IEC to the local communities, the
Wetlands Caravan: Laguna de Bay was launched.
Wetlands Caravan is a IEC campaign that employs a more
participative and community driven approach, giving emphasis
on the specific needs and uses of Laguna de Bay to a
particular community. It is a series of fora focused
on local issues, and is designed to elicit response from the
community in terms of how they see the Laguna de Bay as a
resource that can be used in a sustainable manner.
This approach is under the CEPA Program of the SCPW. |
The first of the
series, the forum focused on Ecotourism in the
Laguna de Bay region, having been identified in the Lake
Environment Action Plan (LEAP) as an opportunity for
sustainable livelihood. Representatives from the cluster
municipalities of Lumban, Pagsanjan, Lucban, Magdalena and Cavinti
participated in the event. |
