Mangrove Seedlings Planting: Balancing the Ecosystem Project"
On March 10, 2024, Inner Wheel Club of Las Piñas & Environs, led by Club Prsident Malou Algenio, supported and participated in the District 383 "Mangrove Planting and restoration project" along Baseco Bay area led by District Chairperson Dr. Analie Bolinao.
This is a continuing project by the Inner Wheel club of Taguig under the leadership of Club President Dr. Edna Victa.
Planting mangroves helps reduce shoreline erosion and protect communities against coastal flooding, tsunamis and many more. This also helps in restoring the ecosystem by giving shelter to different species and can also provide livelihood by providing breeding home for shrimps, crabs and other shellfish.
This project was accomplished in partnership with DILG ASEC Beth De Leon, KALIPI led by their National President Bhebhe Piñon, who is also an Inner Wheel Member. IWC Makati North Pres Maria Luisa Concepcion and IWC Las Piñas Shining Diamonds Pres Myrna Tabirao also participated together with other stakeholders.
