MORE than a hundred people’s organizations in Region 2 (Cagayan Valley) were recognized on Wednesday for their contributions in government’s efforts in maintaining and improving the integrity of forests and forestlands in the region during the Community-Based Forest Management-People’s Organization (CBFM-PO) Summit and Trade Fair held in Tuguegarao City.

The three-day CBFM-PO summit and trade fair was held at the Rogelio B. Baggayan Nature Park and Wildlife Center in Tuguegarao City where POs sold products harvested from their CBFM areas. The event also served as a venue to share insights and best practices, and discuss issues relevant to the implementation of Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) programs.
