Watershed and Wildlife Management
Policies
Recognizing the need to protect, preserve, and conserve local wildlife species, Ormoc City has taken a pioneering step by establishing the first Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Region VIII, located in Barangay Dolores. This facility is duly accredited by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and serves as a vital resource for wildlife conservation efforts.
To ensure the program’s long-term continuity and sustainability, it is essential to institutionalize the operation of the Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center through the enactment of a local ordinance. This ordinance will formalize the city’s commitment to wildlife protection and provide a legal framework for the center’s ongoing activities and future growth.
An ordinance declaring and institutionalizing every third (3rd) Friday of August of every year as Ormoc City Arbor Day and Appropriating Funds Therefor.
As a means of effective and firm response to revive the observance of Arbor Day the Sanggunian of Ormoc City indeed finds it imperative to pass the necessary Arbor Day Legislation for the purpose of not only lending full support to the program’s noble aims but also means of further fortifying the same thru its institutionalization in the City’s regular local program milieu.
