MSSpotlight Environment & Sustainability: MPIF Enlarges Blue Footprint for PH Biodiversity Protection & Conservation Metro Pacific Investments Foundation. Inc. (MPIF) continues to enrich its fifteen year-old environmental flagship program, Shore It-
The corporate social responsibility arm of the country’s leading infrastructure investments company Metro Pacific Investments Corporation is progressing its environmental stewardship, through its continued support of protecting the 97,030 hectares covering the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, as well as the Municipality of Del Carmen, Siargao.
Since 2013, MPIF maintained a mutually beneficial partnership with the municipality of Del Carmen in Siargao Island, through establishing a Mangrove Protection and Information Center. Del Carmen is home to a contiguous 4,000-hectare mangrove forest – the second biggest of its kind in the Philippines after Palawan.
As of 2022, MPIF has committed to support the conservation of the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and World Heritage Site for four years. TRNP was named a Ramsar site – a wetland site of international importance – by the Ramsar Convention or “The Convention on Wetlands”, an intergovernmental environmental treaty established in 1971 by UNESCO. The Convention provides the framework for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.
The mangrove propagules are earmarked for replacement planting inside the protected area and may likewise be distributed to other planting areas within the Manila Bay. The partnership aims to replicate the positive impact generated in the three existing Mangrove Centers.
