The Cordillera Regional Development Council is considering a proposal to establish a unified regional authority to oversee the preservation of the Philippines' rice terraces, which are designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. This initiative comes amid increasing concerns over the abandonment of these terraces, threats posed by climate change, and declining infrastructure conditions. The council is examining a draft resolution aimed at creating a comprehensive master plan to address these challenges and ensure the sustainability of this cultural and ecological heritage. The proposed governance structure seeks to centralize efforts to protect and manage the rice terraces effectively.
