The Department of Environment and Natural Resources Biodiversity Management Bureau (DENR-BMB) launched the country’s updated National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (PBSAP 2024-2040) which includes five priorities strategies for its implementation, as highlighted by the bureau’s Assistant Director Mariglo Rosaida I. Laririt at the 32nd Philippine Biodiversity Symposium in Iloilo City.

Ms Laririt presented an outline of the updated PBSAP, and its priorities: effective protected area management, species extinction prevention and recovery, biodiversity mainstreaming, pollution and Invasive and Alien Species (IAS) reduction, and ecosystem restoration for climate resilience. Developed through a multistakeholder process, the NPBSAP delivers on the Philippines’ commitment to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
