  • Drones Lead to Illegal Lumber Seizure
    STRATEGIC BANNER COMMUNICATION UPPER PAGE 1 EDITORIAL CARTOON STORY STORY INITIATIVES PAGE LOWER SERVICE April 30, 2020 PAGE 1/ DATE TITLE : Drones lead to illegal lumber seizure Published 4 hours ago on April 30, 2020 02:20 AM By Elmer Recuerdo TACLOBAN CITY — The enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) did not deter illegal logging operations in Northern Samar as thousands of board feet of freshly cut lumbers were seized by authorities over the weekend after drone shots uncovered the contraband. According to a report from the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) in Northern Samar, around 39,500 board feet of fresh-cut dipterocarp species with a commercial value of P1,975,037 were recovered in an anti-timber poaching operation in San Isidro, Northern Samar from 24 to 26 April 2020. Confiscated were 8,605 board feet of assorted lumber and flitches and 78 pieces of boat keels equivalent to 30,895.75 board feet in the joint operation conducted Philippine National Police Northern Samar provincial office and PENRO Forest Protection and Law Enforcement Team. The operation was carried out after drone shots showed stockpiles of lumber, flitches and boat keels in separate locations within Barangays Balite and Happy Valley in San Isidro Northern Samar. Most of the violators were able to evade arrest due to the terrain, but PENRO reported that a stockpile of lumber in Barangay Balite was claimed by certain Maria Fe Omrog. PENR officer Angelito Villanueva said an investigation will be conducted and administrative and criminal cases will be filed against the suspects in violation of Section 77 of Presidential Decree 705, or the cutting, gathering and collecting timber or other forest products without a license.

  • DENR Pushes Stiffer Penalty, Fine for Wildlife Trade Offenders by Jonathan L
    STRATEGIC BANNER COMMUNICATION UPPER PAGE 1 EDITORIAL CARTOON STORY STORY INITIATIVES PAGE LOWER SERVICE DENR pushes stiffer penalty, fine for wildlife trade April 28, 2020 PAGE 1/ DATE TITLE : offenders 1/2 DENR pushes stiffer penalty, fine for wildlife trade offenders By Jonathan L. Mayuga -April 27, 2020 The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is pushing to amend Republic Act 9147, or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act that would impose a stiffer penalty and higher fines for environmental crimes, particularly offenses involving illegal wildlife trade. This, as the DENR further stepped up its campaign against the illegal wildlife trade, which has been linked to the coronavirus disease (Covid-19), the disease caused by the novel coronavirus that is believed to have originated from a wet market selling live wild animals in Wuhan City, Hubei province, China. Theresa M. Tenazas, officer in charge of the Wildlife Resources Division of the DENR’s Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB) said they are looking at increased jail term from the maximum of 12 years under the current law to a maximum of 20 years imprisonment for crimes related to the illegal wildlife trade. The DENR, through the BMB, is enforcing Republic Act 9147, and is prohibiting the collection, hunting and possession of wildlife, its byproducts, and derivatives, including trading and transporting. “We are also working on the amendment of the aforesaid law to impose the most stringent penalty of 20 years imprisonment as the maximum penalty for wildlife trafficking,” Tenazas said. The effort to amend the law, she said, is to deter wildlife crimes, together with a campaign to tighten regulation when it comes to import and export of wildlife and ensure full compliance with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), of which the Philippines is a signatory.

  • Induced Forest Fires in Region 8 Published April 26, 2020, 11:06 AM by Marie Tonette Marticio
    STRATEGIC BANNER COMMUNICATION UPPER PAGE 1 EDITORIAL CARTOON STORY STORY INITIATIVES PAGE LOWER SERVICE April 27, 2020 PAGE 1/ DATE TITLE : DENR enjoins public to report human- induced forest fires in Region 8 Published April 26, 2020, 11:06 AM By Marie Tonette Marticio TACLOBAN City – The Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Region 8 (DENR-8) is urging the public to report any forest fire that could have been caused by careless individuals. “The first line of defense against forest fire is to avoid starting a fire. If it cannot be avoided, make sure you watch over and control it,” Forester Allan Cebuano, Chief, Enforcement Division Chief of DENR 8 noted. It was learned that some of the most recent incidents of forest fires in Eastern Visayas were caused by farming activities such as “kaingin (slash and burn farming)”, smoking of honeycombs to gather honey, cigarette butts, and other forms of activities that involve fire. These reportedly went out of control, and caused the widespread fire in the area. Cebuano added that barangay officials must be informed immediately upon the detection of forest fires. The officials are tasked to report to the concerned disaster risk and reduction management council where a protocol is already in-place for the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), as well as other appropriate agencies to respond. Cebuano also warned that unscrupulous individuals who will cause forest fires could be criminally charged under Presidential Decree 705 otherwise known as the “Revised Forestry Code of the Philippines” which provides penalties amounting to not less than P500 to not more than P20,000, and imprisonment of not less than six months or not more than two years.
