Plant bamboos to avoid landslides, reduce erosion—DENR

Why not airlift some seeds (non commercial viability palm) and have it dropped in the mountain by the airforce. I planted a handful of them and they grew 5 feet in 2 years. If the purpose is to prevent soil erosion then the DENR should consider the non commercial viability of the timber or plant so as to protect it from illegal loggers and the slash and burn (kaingin) farmers. MANGO TREES is the best option. The mango trees have large roots, its timber has little use (except for "pang-gatong") and it is fruit bearing. I think the illegal loggers would ignore the mango tree and the kaingin farmers would not dare burn the mango tree.

I think lets generalize this, "PLANT TREES (of any kind) to avoid landslide and soil erosion". wtw

ha.ha.ha..! natatawa nman ako d2 sa mga tga-DENR..ayosin nyong mga sarili nyo para maniwala ang mga tao sa inyo

kAHIT ANONG ITANIM NINYO DYAN NA HALAMAN O BAMBOO MAN AY WALANG EFFECT DYAN KUNG PATULOY NINYONG PAPAYAGAN ANG MGA ILLEGAL LOGGERS AT MINERS NA IYAN. ANG BAMBOO AY MARAMING KAGAMITAN KAYA IYAN AY PUPUTULIN DIN NG MGA TAO. ANG PINAKA IMPORTANTE AY MAGTRABAHO ANG MGA TAGA DENR PARA MASUGPO IYAN. PATAWAN NG MATAAS NA PARUSA ANG MGA HINDE SUMUSUNOD SA BATAS AT KASAMA NA DOON ANG MGA MAYORS, GOVERNOR AT MGA REPRESENTATIVE NG MGA DISTRICTS DAHIL SILA MISMO ANG NAG KOKONDENA NG MGA ITO.

still main source of income in davao oriental is to cut tree and sell to buy food DENR knows that, try to look at timberlands

As a citizen of this country we are all responsible for the environment not just the government
no discipline=no change and no progress

Poor idea. . . Assisted natural regeneration (ANR) is a far better option to hasten rehabilitation of protection forest areas!

Planting bamboo in all landslides-prone areas all over the Philippines is a sensible and doable idea which the DENR people must aggressively promote. However, all rank and file personnel of the DENR should also undergo lifestyle checks to ferret out and penalize those guilty of collusion with illegal loggers including national and local officials abetting such pernicious activity.

tuhugin na yang mga TONGressman sa house of representaTHEIVES nitong mga kawayan!

yes, bamboo can provide erosion control when other plants wash away :)

OWWWSSS... PLANT BAMBOO?? at pag madami na ba at malalaki na ipapabunot na lang nang basta kapag merong bibili ng lupa tulad sa Pine Trees ng Baguio? OW CMON.....

Mabuti yan... kasi when you pass by along leyte ang samar areas talaga namang kalbong--kalbo ang mga bundok dyan kaya no wonder landslide prune area... dapat the government there should intensify reforestation projects and information drives dyan sa mga residents...

ang problema dyan eh pag lumaki na mga kahoy dapat may mag babantay sa mga mang UUling...heheh

TOTAL LOG BAN! YAN ANG SAGOT!

Not only bamboo... coconut, acacia and some other trees especially those bearing fruits they have to be planted. Those will not only help them to hold soil errosion but saving their daily living as well. They can eat the fruits and sell the excess of it. Those people are not supposed to urge. It is supposed to be an instinct and a common sense...

kung magiging mahigpit ang mga taga gobyerno sa mga bagay bagay hindi yan mangyayari, dahil sa kapakanan ng iilan at kapahamakan ng nakakarami. sana po maging maingat po kayo pag aprub kung may idudulot ba itong masama pagdating ng araw at huwag yung pansarili lang ang iniisip.

hihingi lang ng budget para sa bamboo planting project pero bubulsa naman yung budget

say it to the illegal loggers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The government shouldn't be urging them. They should initiate the act themselves!

TAMA, magtanim tayo ng maraming kawayan at pagkatapos ay gawin nating patpat at ipamalo sa mga BUGOK na taong gobyerno!!!
