Haribon: Kaliwa Dam remains a threat to biodiversity

The Haribon Foundation maintains its position that the multibillion peso Kaliwa mega dam project will not only have a devastating impact on people’s lives, but would also destroy the homes of many threatened flora and fauna found in the area.

Communities in the Barangay Pagsangahan in General Nakar and Barangay Magsaysay in Infanta, composed mostly of Dumagat-Remontado tribes, would be displaced. Thousands of threatened wildlife species inhabiting the forests of Sierra Madre, including Philippine Brown Deer, Philippine Warty Pig, Vulnerable Northern Rufous Hornbill, restricted-range birds of the Luzon Endemic Bird area and the Philippine Eagle would also be in danger.
