The 1st Quarterly Meeting of the Deputy Environment and Natural Resources Officers (DENROs) of Columbio, held on January 9, 2026, marked an important step toward more responsive and effective environmental governance.
A key highlight of the meeting was the presentation of the plan to strengthen environmental monitoring through the use of communication technology and the Environmental Incident Report (EIR) Tool, developed with the valuable support of the University of Southern Mindanao. This tool aims to improve real-time reporting, documentation, and response to environmental concerns across barangays.
By enhancing coordination and equipping DENROs with practical digital tools, the LGU of Columbio continues to reinforce its commitment to biodiversity conservation, environmental law enforcement, and community-based protection of natural resources. This initiative strengthens local action, supports informed decision-making, and ensures a more proactive approach to safeguarding our environment.
Together, we protect Columbio’s biodiversity—for today and for future generations.
