Biodiversity Conservation in Sustainable Habitats
We NEED Actions that requires management and use of land, freshwater, wetlands, coastal, marine & other ecosystems be along ecological parameters, with soil, flora & fauna protected from degradation & exploitation & all natural resources protected from over utilization; and that rehabilitation, expansion and consolidation through biodiversity corridors of all watersheds and protected areas be prioritized.This will be done with substantial subsidy from government.
To do this, deployment of 75% of our armed forces in permanent ecosystem rehabilitation work, the mandatory mobilization of all public servants in scheduled rehabilitation work, mobilization of all students and 4Ps program beneficiaries in reforestation and the training, deputization, funding from national government and mobilization of Barangay and IP tribal environmenal enforcers with the PNP and the Philippine Coast Guard on call to assist will be done.Where possible and for isolated small islands, jails will be decongested with low risk prisoners serving time in minimum security conditions relocated to conduct voluntary eco conservation and rehabilitation work in these islands. Furthermore, Also as part of this agenda, we will push for a nationwide moratorium on all land conversion until a national sustainable land use policy is adopted and institutionalize. |
