Tan Legacy Forest Project was launched in 2014 with the goal of mitigating the effects of climate change and providing livelihood opportunities to many unemployed residents in reforestation sites initially at the UPLB Land Grant in Laguna and Quezon. Since that year, the project has expanded to cover a bigger area in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

The first group who joined the TYKFI staff in the planting activity was composed of employees of PNB-Boracay Branch and volunteer street sweepers provided by the Manocmanoc  Barangay Council headed by Barangay Captain Abram Sualog. They helped plant 1,000 Mangroves (Bakauan lalaki and Pagatpat) which are native in Sitio Lugutan, Manocmanoc, Boracay Island.

    The second group of planters were members of the 46th APEC Tourism Working Group who came to Boracay to appreciate and help protect the world famous tourism destination by planting mangroves last May 18, 2015. The volunteer planters from different countries from the Asia-Pacific region were also joined by observers from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), International Air Transport Association (IATA) and other APEC partner organizations.

    TYKFI Launches the Las-Ud Mangrove Project

    8/14/2014

     
    Picture
    Mangroves provide habitat to many marine animals. These trees hold the ground, thus preventing erosion since there is a general tendency for the sea to engulf the land. The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. (TYKFI) recognizes the many other benefits of Mangroves aside from the ones mentioned. Thus, the Foundation, in partnership with the Municipality of Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur, launched “Las-Ud Mangrove Project” last August 14. 2014. It was attended by Hon. Teresita Valle (Mayor, Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur); Former DENR ASec Marlo Mendoza, Mr. Philip Sing, Ms. Elizabeth Alba, Mr. Jonathan Anuma, Ms. Valerie Tan and Ms. Janel Badlis ( Tan Yan Kee Foundation Representatives); Mr. Joseph S. Gumnad (OIC-Municipal Agriculturist) and Mr. Larry C. Calleja (AT/ MENRO); Mr. Antonio Lozano (Brgy. Captain, Las-Ud Sta. Cruz) and its Kagawad, Barangay Health Workers and member of 4P’s.
