Authorities are preparing to help boost capability of local government units (LGUs) and communities concerned as well as respective partners in managing pilot sites covered by the 2010-2015 New Conservation Areas in the Philippines Project (NewCAPP) under Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB).
This week, they are spearheading in Metro Manila a three-day workshop designed to help NewCAPP personnel better carry out the information and education campaign (IEC) that is aimed at improving such target audiences’ knowledge of conservation-related matters, empowering these parties to increasingly manage and protect the sites from climate change and other threats.
“We want to sharpen our IEC in support of activities there,” NewCAPP project manager Floradema Eleazar said Tuesday on the workshop’s side.
