May 22, 2024 – The Tanggol Kalikasan, a public interest law office, recently conducted an educational tour at Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University-National Apiculture Research Training and Development Institute (DMMMSU-NARTDI). 

This initiative was a crucial part of their Environmental Governance Training, held at the DMMMSU International Convention Center (ICC). The tour was aimed at providing practical insights and experiences to the participants, enhancing their understanding of environmental governance.

The study tour included key department heads from the Local Government Units (LGUs) of Aurora and Quezon Provinces. The delegation embarked on an insightful visit to the institute’s demonstration apiary and honey processing area. Here, the group gained insights into the beekeeping operations and honey production processes that NARTDI implements.

Through this immersive experience, NARTDI believed that Tanggol Kalikasan aims to empower local government officials of the two provinces with the knowledge and tools necessary to implement effective environmental policies and programs within their jurisdictions, reinforcing the commitment of both the LGUs and Tanggol Kalikasan to foster a greener sustainable future.
