However, with the global warming and climate change problem, the productivity
of the natural environment and whole ecosystem (people, plants, animals) are
greatly affected due to increasing temperature. Warmer temperatures over time
are changing weather patterns and disrupting the usual balance of nature. This
leads to the occurrence of unpredictable heavy rainfall, drought and strong
winds.
When these unforeseen circumstances will occur about 3.91 hectares residential
areas adjacent the coastline with 1,566 individuals will be endanger of losing
their lives, properties or income. In addition, about 10 hectares of land and and
1,316 population near the Padada river will be highly flooded. Hence, it is very
crucial to implement mitigating measures and environmental protection
programs for the whole ecosystem environment.
This proposed integrated upland, river banks and coastal greening program is
anchored under the Enhanced National Greening Program of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources. It will address the depleting mangroves
along the coastline of Padada and bamboos and nypas along the riparian zone.
Another is to the rehabilitate the denuded area of the Padada Crocodile by
planting varieties of hard and fruit tree species in in order to strengthen and hold
in place, to slow runoff and prevent erosion.
To ensure success in the implementation of this program, the LGU will tap the
partnership with the accredited Civil Society Organizations of Padada. Seed
capital will be provided to the partner CSOs to start their livelihood in the
production of planting materials. Their responsibility will start from growing and
caring of tree seedlings and propagating propagules to planting activities.
Incentive in a form of cash for work will be also be given to all CSO members
who will labor in the tree planting activities and close monitoring to compensate
their efforts. Continue caring and close monitoring of the planted trees will
guarantee high survival. Thus, this Project Proposal.
OVERALL EXPECTED 7. Green and reforested Padada Crocodile Hill, river banks and mangrove forest
OUTPUT in the coastal barangays thereby ensuring the protection of the lives and
properties of the coastal dwellers and near stream residents from the danger
of big waves, storm surge or flash floods and landslides.
METHODOLY This Upland, River Banks and Coastal Greening Program obtain highest
approval to be proposed for funding though consultation with concern CSOs
during Municipal Development Council meeting.
PROJECT This program adheres with the flagship program of the DENR particularly the
RELATIONSHIP TO National Greening Program and Impact Project to Support Poverty Alleviation.
GOP PRIORITIES
SUSTAINABILITY The sustainability of the project will be a collaborative effort by the LGU and
PLAN concerned CSOs. A cash for work sub-project shall be implemented for the
duration of 6 months. The works shall include constant site visit and monitoring
the status of the tree species planted in the identified areas of concern (Padada
Crocodile Hill, Padada River banks and mangrove areas); and watering of the
plants to ensure high survival rate.
DESCRIPTION OF The Local Chief Executive (LCE) shall direct the MENRO to be in-charged in
PROJECT the over-all management of the program who holds most of the
MANAGEMENT responsibilities in maintaining the balance of the natural ecosystems. The
MENRO shall collaborate with the Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) and
CSOs during the duration of the implementation.
Here are some of the responsibilities to be observed of the major players of the
program and can be added in accordance to the stipulated conditions under the
Memorandum of Agreement as the case maybe.
