Foundation: We have been on frontlines of conservation
The Philippine Star
|March 08, 2025
By canceling its contract with Blue Star Construction Development Corp., the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) “has chosen to go after those protecting our forests instead of those destroying them,” a foundation advocating the protection of the Masungi forest reserve said yesterday.
In a statement, the Masungi Georeserve Foundation Inc. criticized the DENR for rescinding its contract with Blue Star, saying the firm has been a partner on the frontlines for over two decades in defending the country’s forests.
