Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Ma. Antonia Yulo Loyzaga said Tuesday that the agency is prioritizing two million hectares of forest lands in its reforestation program.
"In terms of our own targets sa DENR, we want to do two million hectares as a priority. Ang one million na pong iyan have been mapped adequately and we can actually already show this to local decision-makers as well as private sector, community-based forestry and management groups to say dito po sana ang priority natin," Loyzaga said at a Palace press briefing.
"We need partnerships, and the only way we’re going to be able to implement the reforestation at a phase na siguro ina-anticipate ng lahat ‘no, is to build the partnerships in those areas na priority siya," Loyzaga said. "So, ang one million is the modest target for our being able to actually get partnerships to move forward. Two million is our reach ‘no, is our reach but sana po umabot sa ten at least in terms of the overall na 15 by the end ‘no," she said.
