Environment Secretary Regina Paz Lopez announced on Monday a nationwide restructuring of 17 regional offices of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to ensure the success of environmental programs and projects designed to help local communities protect their surroundings and improve living conditions.

In a statement, Lopez said the restructuring is integral to her five-year development plan for the DENR and is anchored on sustainable integrated area development (SIAD) in line with “AmBisyonNatin 2040,” a 25-year long-term vision that seeks to make the Philippines a predominantly middle-class society by 2040.
