Friday, May 20, 2022, is World Bee Day. World Bee Day raises awareness about the hazards that human activities pose to pollinators like bees. The United Nations (UN) recognized this day in December 2017, and the First World Bee Day was held on Sunday, May 20, 2018. The fifth commemoration of this unique day will take place in the year 2022.
The goal of World Bee Day is to raise awareness about the importance of bees and other pollinators in the ecosystem.
Slovenia's initiative to proclaim May 20 as World Bee Day was approved by the United Nations Member States in December 2017. The theme for World Bee Day 2022 is "Bee engaged: Celebrating the diversity of bees and beekeeping techniques."
The United Nations focused on the importance of a diverse range of bees as well as dangers to bees, other pollinators, and beekeepers under this theme. The United Nations also emphasized the relevance of beekeeping systems and bee-derived goods. This World Bee Day 2022 Theme serves as a guide for all World Bee Day 2022 celebrations.

As part of this year's observance of the Month of the Ocean (MOO), the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) reminds the public of the need for ocean water conservation.
"This year's MOO subject is 'Protect and Restore Ecosystems and Biodiversity,'" according to the DENR.
The theme was taken from UNESCO's Ocean Decade Challenge 2, which is based on the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development motto, "The Science We Need for the Ocean We Want" (2021-2030).
Under changing environmental and societal conditions, the theme attempts to understand the effects of many stressors on ocean ecosystems and create strategies to manage and restore ecosystems and their rich biological variety.
The commemoration of #MOO2022 provides an excellent chance to introduce the key issue of Ecosystem Restoration, which aims to prevent, slow, and reverse ecosystem deterioration on every continent and in every ocean.
By virtue of Pres. Proc. No. 57, published in 1998, the Month of the Ocean (MOO) is commemorated every May.

The SAFE > GRS > FOSHE Project organized a two-day seminar workshop on biodiversity conservation and the application of LiDAR technology on May 04–05, 2022 in the Municipality of Abucay, Bataan.
Engr. Eliza Camaso and Engr. Guiller Damian imparted the knowledge and transferred the skills on LiDAR Technology as applied in the planning and assessment of the LGU. Biodiversity conservation of forest, agriculture, and coastal ecosystems was presented by Ms. Kathrina M. Mapanao, Mr. Roberto D. Pelayo, and Ms. Jo Adrianne Espiritu. The seminar was concluded by a policy forum to identify the benefits obtained from those ecosystems, problems encountered and their corresponding causes, effects, and possible interventions. The major concerns raised by the participants are the illegal logging and lack of arable land, which affect the production of crops. The issues affecting coastal ecosystems identified by the stakeholders included waste generation by informal settlers and the use of illegal fishing methods were the issues affecting coastal ecosystems identified by the stakeholders. The two-day activity was participated by farmers, fisherfolks, Municipal Agricultural Fishery Council (MAFC), Agricultural Extension Worker (AEW), and Municipal Agriculture Office staff. Ms. Angella Tolentino and Ms. Teodora A. Polo served as facilitators.

No one knows how many Philippine Forest Turtles (Siebenrockiella leytensis) are left in the wild, but according to Pierre Fidenci, President of Endangered Species International in San Francisco, the number is quickly dwindling due to illegal trade.
The forest turtle was thought to be extinct until scientists spotted three turtles for sale in a local market in 2001. Since then, the island of Palawan has had only one population, which is rapidly dwindling. "It's now very difficult, if not impossible, to find the Philippine Forest Turtle in certain creeks where it used to be abundant," Fidenci says.

Adaptation responds directly to the effects of increased greenhouse gas concentrations in both precautionary and reactive ways, as opposed to the preventative approach of limiting the source of the gases (known as 'mitigation').
Climate change adaptation is particularly important for developing countries, where societies are already struggling to meet the challenges posed by existing climate variability (Yamin et al. 2005; Adger et al., 2003; Handmer, 2003; Kates, 2000; Watson and Ackerman 2000), and are thus expected to be the most adversely affected by climate change (McCarthy et al., 2001).
According to the recent Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), "adaptation will be required to address impacts resulting from the warming that is already unavoidable due to past emissions" (IPCC, 2007: 18). As a result, it advocates for adaptation as a complementary response strategy to mitigation.
Please take time to watch this video, everyone! We must ACT NOW to combat climate change.

LOOK| The SAFE>GRS>FOSHE Project organized a two-day seminar-workshop on biodiversity conservation and application of LiDAR technology on April 27-28, 2022 in the Municipality of Morong, Bataan.
The biodiversity conservation of forest, agriculture and coastal ecosystems was presented by Mr. Daryl Juganas, Dr. Gella Patria Abella and Ms. Jo Adrianne Espiritu. Policy forum followed shortly to identify the benefits obtained from those ecosystems, problems encountered and their corresponding causes, effects and possible interventions. This was actively participated by barangay chairs, farmers, fisherfolks and Municipal Agriculture Office staff. Major concern raised by the participants is the illegal cutting of trees which adversely affects the water supply for agricultural production. Wastes generated by tourists and use of illegal fishing methods were the issues on coastal ecosystems identified by the stakeholders.
On Day 2, Engr. Eliza Camaso and Engr. Guiller Damian provided the knowledge and transferred the skills on LiDAR Technology as applied in the planning and assessment of the local government unit. Ms. Kathrina Mapanao and Ms Teodora Polo served as facilitators.
