Together with the municipalities and city of the 3rd District of Negros Oriental, the Local Government Unit of Sta. Catalina, through the leadership of the honorable Mayor Peve Obaniana-Ligan, joins the Gforest Launching held in Brgy. Lutoban, Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental. This project aims to plant 500, 000 trees across South Negros Oriental in order to protect and preserve our environment against floods and typhoons, especially our shoreline. With the mangrove reforestation, our fish will have their new homes and breeding places, for we believe that the RIGHT TO LIVE is not only for the people but also for the fishes. The RIGHT TO LIVE is for all. It's our FISH; it's our LIFE.
Gforest is mainly sponsored by and USAID with Silliman University as their partner. To make this project a success, a number of civil societies and people's organizations have also committed to help the said program.
