GENERAL SANTOS CITY, August 31 (PIA) –- A total of 229 hatchlings of marine turtles have been released recently in Sarangani Bay, said officer-in-charge Eduardo Saladero of the Sarangani-base Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO). | |||
According to him, it is the mandate of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to protect and conserve endangered marine species in its area of responsibility. | |||
He said the release was made on separate occasions by the Community Environment and Natural Resources Offices (CENROs) based in Glan and Kiamba, Sarangani. | |||
Saladero cited a total 133 hawksbill turtle hatchlings freed at Gumasa, Glan coastlines while the 96 hatchlings of Olive Ridley turtle were released at sitio Bialong, Poblacion, Kiamba. Both freed early August. | |||
Forester Jessica Guilao of CENRO Glan said they have found at least “100 eggs in the nest, three of those were unfertilized, 97 hatched with only one mortality.” | |||
Saladero said the discovery of the hatchlings was a “shared” effort among different partners like the community folk, environment advocates and the local government units of Glan and Kiamba. | |||
He lauded the participation of the community residents and their cooperation with the DENR-PENRO saying it paved the way for such an initiative to become easier and successful. | |||
Saladero also said “DENR’s massive information drive” has been a great help and is effective in raising the level of awareness of community to get actively involved in the preservation of environment as well as in the protection of endangered species and habitats in their respective area.
