My sentiments exactly! It's happenin...Hi Cel! My sentiments exactly! It's happening all over my area and most likely the whole country as I have seen it in most places during my out-of-town trips. People seem unaware of the problems we are facing globally. That's why I told a friend the other day that in order to spare and protect some of our native flora, conservationists from every area or town if possible should try to plant trees that are endemic and indigenous to their geographical location. By doing this, sanctuaries would be established and that there would be a source for trees gene bank in the future. Our forests are facing a blight future......I cannot do this alone in collecting and planting our native trees because there are thousands of species catalogued and hundreds or thousands still undiscovered. My family just have a parcel of land in Laguna area and not all native trees will survive in the singular type of forest that our land is classified (molave). What will happen with the other forest types such as mangrove, coastal, molave forest of other unique areas, dipterocarp forest like Subic, pine forest in Baguio and the mossy forest if these are not protected?<br /><br />I learned my lesson last summer when many of the new seedlings that I have planted died. Of course some were spared by El Nino. I just hope that others will learn from my mistakes and be guided by my experiences, which I am trying to impart through this blog.Ricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15048460533287766110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908330512682788220.post-78296391515553909962010-06-21T19:48:51.271+08:002010-06-21T19:48:51.271+08:00This is really bad.
