Gov't requests JICA to extend P5.87-B Forestland Management Project

The government has asked Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for an extension on the P5.87 billion Forestland Management Project (FMP) which was halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic, having successfully established 71,300 hectares of agroforestory plantation already.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) needs time to complete maintenance works for the protection of established plantations over the mandated three river basins of FMP.
