The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in the Philippines has shifted its focus from merely distributing tree saplings during Arbor Day to ensuring their long-term survival. The DENR exceeded its target of distributing three million saplings, reaching 4.2 million, though only around 1.67 million were planted initially. The remaining saplings are scheduled for planting in July. This initiative aligns with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive to enhance environmental protection and ecosystem restoration. The effort is part of the 'Luntiang Bukas' campaign aimed at creating climate-resilient communities through collective action involving government, local communities, schools, and private entities. The DENR plans to implement a monitoring system to track the growth and survival of the planted seedlings.
