THE Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Region 2 (Cagayan Valley) enlisted about 100 students through the Cagayan provincial environment and natural resources office for the protection and restoration of wetlands in the town of Buguey in Cagayan province.

Students and teachers from Leron Elementary School and Minanga Elementary School have committed to join the DENR's effort to protect said 500-hectare wetlands which compose 80 percent of the municipality's total land area.
