DENR to probe invasion of areas under stewardship

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-Region 12 has directed field officials to look into the reported encroachment by certain groups of areas covered by Certificates of Stewardship Contracts (CSC) issued by the DENR under its Integrated Social Forestry Program (ISFP).

DENR-Region 12 Director Datu Tungko Saikol issued the directive in the wake of complaints aired by CSC holders during the Regional People’s Organizations Strengthening and Capability-Building Seminar held last week in Barangay Tambler, General Santos City.
