Alert // Protected Forest Area in Mt. Kanlaon Under Threat! |
|
Green Alert Negros shares with us the news of Mt. Kanlaon's remaining forest cover is threatened by a privately owned geothermal project. PNOC-ED, with a cutting permit from DENR secretary Atienza, wants to disrupt the ecosystem that houses the watershed that is vital to three cities and three towns. All Filipinos should be alarmed as corporations and government continue to be shortsighted and refuse to value biodiversity and ecosystem services. There are also assertions that there is a power crisis in Negros-- claims that we have seen all over the Philippines to justify new infrastructure that we don't actually need. Please read the facts below: "MT. KANLAON IS A PROTECTED AREA (One of the Top Ten Priority Sites for Conservation). The island of Negros has a mere 4.77% (39,630 hectares) forest cover left, based on 1989 Swedish Space Agency satellite data. Of the remaining 39,630 hectares of forestlands, only 14,800 hectares are considered primary growth forests. These strands of forest are distributed within the areas of the Northern Negros Natural Park (Mt. Silay & Mt. Mandalagan) and a major fraction of which lies within Mt. Kanlaon Natural Park . However, the island fell far below the 40% forest cover needed to maintain a balanced ecosystem.
Mt. Kanlaon Natural Park is categorized as Natural Park because it is an important watershed of Northern and Central Negros being the headwater catchment of three major river systems namely: Bago, Nahatin and Binalbagan, which supply irrigation water to about 158,500 hectares or one fifth of the province¢s land area. The Bago Watershed has a total land area of 61,926 hectares located at the Mt. Kanlaon Natural Park and portion of the Northern Negros Natural Park which is the lifeblood of the cities of Bago, San Carlos , and Talisay, and the towns of Caltrava, Don Salvador Benedicto and Murcia . Again, it is protected under the Presidential Proclamation #604 in 1990. |
