CARAGA MHP and Community – based BIODIVERSITY PROTECTION towards SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

A PROJECT FUNDED BY THE UNDP – GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITY / SMALL GRANTS PROGRAMME

 

                                                                                                              dsc00676.jpgdsc00668.jpg                                                     THE PROJECT Sitio Sangab, Barangay Pichon lies 54 kilometers away from the municipality of Caraga, Davao Oriental. Its elevation at 989 meters above sea level owing to its vast forest resources, it is endowed with abundant source of water. Hence, micro-hydropower is a big potential of Mandaya indigenous people whose main source of income is abaca, corn and a few traditional rice farming. An isolated off-grid community – it is characterized by rugged road terrain. Around 150 households would be benefited by this project by way of household lighting, corn milling and abaca stripping would enhance their socio-economic upliftment. It is also hoped that by way of synergy, other development efforts of the Mandaya community would be also enhanced as a result of the micro-hydropower. More importantly, the project also involves regeneration and protection of indigenous tree species like the lauan, molave, and other tropical trees.
