• Project description
  The donation from the Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) provided an opportunity to expand this initiative started by local stakeholders in 2007. The TMC, DENR, LUG, and CI concluded a grant agreement with the witness of President Arroyo, and the Philippine Peñablanca Sustainable Reforestation Project was officially launched in September 2007. The goal of the project is to promote forest restoration, forest and biodiversity conservation, and alternative livelihood through reforestation, enhancement planting and agro-forestry. The project will implement reforestation, enhancement planting, or agroforestry on 2,943 hectares of degraded lands and will create a Reforestation Fund to ensure long-term benefits. Reforestation activities include nursery establishment, seedling production and fire prevention. Restored forests will provide improved ecosystem services, while agroforestry will provide an income source alternative to incomes from unsustainable use of forest patches (e.g., logging for charcoal to sell).
