Mangrove Rehabilitation and Protection
Aligned with its commitment to preserving the environment, CLAFI has planted and maintained about 100,000 mangrove seedlings along the coasts of Maasim, Alabel, and Malapatan municipalities in Sarangani Province since 2012. Through this project, CLAFI supports the preservation of Sarangani Bay, a protected seascape. Mangrove forests are important parts of the marine ecosystem, protect coastline areas, and serve as a fertile ground for marine life.
This project is in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) XII, Protected Area Management Board (PAMB), Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO), and Municipal & Barangay Local Government Unit. The foundation also worked with the local academe to monitor the growth of the planted mangroves.
CLAFI plants different resilient species of mangrove, suchs as Pagatpat, Bakhaw, Piapi, and Tungog, to build a mangrove forest that protects the province’s coral reefs and prevents soil erosion in neighboring communities.
