The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Caraga urges the public to protect marine biodiversity from extinction to save the ecosystem's health and humanity.

The recent incident occurred on March 18, 2025, in the seawaters of Brgy. Cabayawa, Tubay, Agusan del Norte, where a pregnant blue shark (๐˜—๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜จ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ข) was reported killed. Blue sharks are classified as Nearly Threatened in the IUCN Red List. In response to the report, DENR Caraga immediately coordinated with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR)-Caraga, the agency responsible for the conservation and sustainable management of fisheries and aquatic resources.

DENR, as the agency tasked with the assurance of the availability and sustainability of the countryโ€™s natural resources through judicious use and systematic restoration or replacement and the conservation of specific terrestrial and marine area representatives of the natural and cultural heritage, calls on the public for a stringent collaborative effort to help mitigate the risks of environmental degradation and destruction of vital coastal habitats, loss of marine biological diversity, and deterioration of near-shore water quality.

Marine biodiversity, the variety of life in the ocean and seas, supports a healthy ecosystem that humanity relies on. It satisfies basic human needs for food security, it provides biodiversity support as a home and breeding ground of species, it plays a critical part in the solution to the adverse effects of climate change, and it is part of the circulation of a good economy and sustainable and responsible livelihood opportunities. The costs of marine biodiversity loss destabilize and endanger the humanโ€™s well-being and their ability to survive and thrive on the planet.

Sharks contribute to the delicate balance of the marine ecosystemโ€™s overall health. They are considered one of the vulnerable predators in the ocean that keep populations of prey species and the marine food web in check. Their presence in the sea prevents marine turtles from overgrazing the seagrass beds, which are effective carbon sinks that reduce the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. Moreover, they help regulate nutrients between different locations and the depths and shallow of the ocean. Losing shark species can disrupt the delicate marine ecosystem that they help maintain.

As responsible individuals, you can contribute by stopping the poaching of marine species, maintaining the shores clean, avoiding unsustainable marine products, choosing reputable marine-related activities, sharing knowledge about environmental protection and awareness, and supporting sustainable and resilient environmental campaigns and initiatives.

The future of humanity and the world we live in largely depends on the health of the ocean. So, our active participation in its conservation and preservation, including all wildlife it harbors, will make impactful and drastic changes for the welfare of the present and future generations.

In the Timber Corridor of the Philippines, a young lady forester who performs a presumed masculine job inspiringly exists. She even risks her life in the pursuit of her duty to protect the precious forestlands.

Forester Love Joy S. Pagaspas of CENRO Bayugan, Agusan del Sur excelled in building strong linkage with the Local Government Unit, the Philippine National Police and the Philippine Army Special Forces as Team Leader of Task Force Caraga and Municipal Monitoring Station in Sibagat, Agusan del Sur.

Working as a young environmental warrior for almost 13 years of selfless service, she received the well-deserved promotion, journeying with her continued mission to lead the mitigation of further forest destruction and degradation with immense courage and dedication as a lady forester--setting the trend of women thriving in the sector previously dominated by men.

The Wildlife Unit of the Enforcement Division conducted a one-day Basic Wildlife Law Enforcement Training for Deputation as Wildlife Enforcement Officers (WEOs) on March 6, 2025, at PENRO Surigao del Norte, Brgy. Sabang, Surigao City.

The training was part of the Re-Entry Action Plan of Forest Ranger Eronne B. Maestre, in partial fulfillment of his requirements for completing the Environment and Natural Resources Specialized Course on Environmental Law Enforcement last year.

CENRO Tubod, under PENRO Surigao del Norte, was selected to host the training since Lipata Port, a known hotspot for illegal wildlife transshipment, falls under its jurisdiction. Recognizing the need to strengthen wildlife law enforcement in the area, the Enforcement Division coordinated with the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA)โ€“Lipata to invite various agencies stationed at the Port Integrated Clearance Office (PICO), including DENR Wildlife Enforcement Officers, for the training.

The training aimed to enhance the capabilities of law enforcers from DENR and other agencies by covering the following key areas:

1. Prohibited acts under RA 9147 (Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act);
2. Identification of commonly traded wildlife in the region;
3. Familiarization with wildlife permits and verifying their authenticity;
4. Understanding the roles of different agencies in addressing wildlife-related crimes;
5. Recognizing smuggling techniques and concealment methods at seaports and airports, and,
6. Basic Wildlife restraint and handling.

Participants included representatives from the following agencies:
โ€ขPPA-Philippine Port Police
โ€ขPhilippine Coast Guard
โ€ขPNP Maritime Group
โ€ขBureau of Animal Industry
โ€ขDENR personnel from Surigao del Norte

Following the training, agency representatives expressed their appreciation to DENR Caraga for organizing the session. Despite its short duration, the training provided a valuable platform for harmonizing their respective roles in wildlife law enforcement.

In his opening message, PENR Officer Agapito T. Patubo emphasized the importance of enhancing law enforcement capacities to protect the regionโ€™s wildlife resources, particularly at Lipata Port, Surigao City.

This initiative marks a significant step towards strengthening inter-agency collaboration and improving enforcement measures against illegal wildlife activities in the region.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources Caraga as a member of the Regional Gender and Development Committee (RGADC) participated in the 2025 National Womenโ€™s Month (NWM) Kick-Off Activities: Motorcade and Opening Program, with the sub theme, โ€œBabae sa Lahat ng Sektor, Aangat ang Bukas sa Bagong Pilipinasโ€ on March 3, 2025, at Caraga State University, Ampayon, Butuan City.

This yearโ€™s sub theme reinforces the core objective of Republic Act 9710, or the Magna Carta of Womenโ€”to empower women, promote gender equality, and ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities and focuses on supporting the administrationโ€™s brand of governance and leadership, aligning with its rallying cry for an all-inclusive plan for economic and social transformation.

The motorcade started at Guingona Park and headed to the Caraga State University, in Ampayon, Butuan City where the opening activities were held.

Regional Development Council-RGADC Chairperson and Regional Director of Commission on Population and Development, Caraga Region, Alexander A. Makinano led the event, fully-supported by various National Government Agencies, School Institutions and Civil Society Organizations.

A press conference dubbed as Kapihan sa Philippine Information Agency (PIA) was also conducted at SM City Butuan to educate and encourage the public about women and childrenโ€™s equal access to opportunities, resources, and full recognition of rights. DENR 13-RGADFPS Vice-Chairperson for External Affairs and Relations and Development Management Officer IV, Celeste N. Paler was one of the resource persons. # #
