The combined effects of Typhoon Carina and the southwest monsoon (𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘵) which have brought nonstop rains and devastating floods across the country is yet another stark reminder of nature’s power and our responsibility towards it. The massive flooding in Metro Manila and parts of Luzon further exposed harsh truths, such as improper land use, notably reclamation.

While we empathize with our people, we must also drive home a key message: safeguarding our natural environment isn’t just about saving wildlife, it’s about protecting ourselves. As we confront the escalating effects of climate change, prioritizing the conservation and protection of our natural resources is more crucial than ever.

But where do we begin? How do we effectively identify and protect these critical areas? This is where Sukat ng Kalikasan will become a particularly useful tool for a more sustainable future. Snk will empower us to identify key areas that act as natural buffers against disasters, prioritize conservation efforts for maximum impact, and make informed decisions about land use and development.

Let’s learn from the devastation and work together to protect our environment and help ensure a safer, sustainable, and more resilient future for all.
