Trees offer a multitude of benefits to our environment and well-being as they contribute to energy conservation, water preservation, and even heat absorption. They also provide sustenance and economic opportunities, while serving as habitats for wildlife.
Most importantly, trees are a natural carbon sink as they absorb more carbon than they produce — all this while releasing oxygen to our air. Consequently, trees help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and play a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth.
TSI began its Carbon Sink Management Program in 2015 and recently completed its goal of planting one million trees in Davao City, including areas covering the ancestral domains of indigenous peoples . Meanwhile, TVI began its 10-year Carbon Sink Management Program in 2016 and, to date, has planted and nurtured 770,000 trees with the help of Ramon Aboitiz Foundation and the hard work of some 277 farmers in Cebu.
Native trees of mixed fruit and timber planted since 2017 include Narra, Lanutan, Kakaw, Coffee, Lomboy, Nangka, Guyabano, Rambutan, Lanzones, Avocado, Kunawom, Tugas/Molave, Duhat, Labana, Lemonsito/Kalamansi, Malaruhat, Sangil, Agoho del Monte, Caimito, Conalum, and Taguilomboy.
Last year, GMEC signed a memorandum of agreement for an estimated P6.8-million “5 Hectares Orani Mangrove Adoption and Protection Project” to improve the existing conditions of the mangrove areas in the allotted five hectares for a period of five years, which is subject for a possible extension.
