The CLEAR started to map
the conservation initiatives within the Laguna de Bay Region.
The project aims to determine whether the interventions in specific
parts of the Lake Region are appropriate and adequate considering
the type and magnitude of the area�s conservation problem/s
especially in the light of burning issues like climate change.
Among its desired outputs are GIS-based maps of initiatives and
conservation problems. Further, it will complement networking among
Lake advocates.
As the largest lake in the country, and one that is
shared by lakeshore cities and municipalities,
advocating best conservation practices is a step towards
adapting to or mitigating the adverse effects of climate
change, which is one of the serious long-term
environmental problems being faced globally. An
initial step is to gather the local government planning
and development officers to map environment-related
activities recently completed, on-going or proposed in
their respective city/municipality. The purpose of the
mapping is to determine geographically the level of
effort being done to conserve the lake. Moreover, it
will give the CLEAR partners an idea whether climate
change concepts have been already integrated in their
local plans. |
