To kickstart the Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) Ambassador project launched under the Tayo Ang Kalikasan (TAK) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed between DENR Bicol and the Lions Club International last February 19, 2021 at Barangay Salugan, Camalig, Albay. The ENR Ambassador project aims to involve the youth sector in the protection, conservation and management of the ENR through information, education and communication (IEC) campaigns, advocacies, social mobilization and partnership building. Some eighty (80) students in the Bicol Region were identified as ENR Ambassadors and are expected to help educate their fellow youth on various environmental issues affecting the region and galvanize the support of the youth sector in the cleanup, rehabilitation and protection of the environment and natural resources in the region. They will be provided with prepaid pocket WiFi by the DENR to be used both for their environmental education and advocacy work and academic studies.
