Through RAFI One to Tree, and with the active support of Wells Fargo, alongside MLGU Lobo (Lobo Public Information Office) and the Samahan ng Maliliit na Mangingisda sa Pangangalaga ng Kalikasan sa Brgy. Lagadlarin (SMMPKBL), we successfully planted 15,000 mangrove seedlings in 2023, enriching 1.5 hectares of mangrove area in Brgy. Lagadlarin, Lobo, Batangas.
As of March 2026, the plantation has achieved a 97.33% survival rate, reflecting the value of hands-on collaboration and shared commitment in protecting coastal ecosystems and sustaining communities. ๐ฑ
