P5.5-million 'drone-assisted' reforestation set in Bukidnon

A P5.5 million reforestation project to be carried out by drones is set to be implemented in the Mount Kalatungan ranges in Pangantucan, Bukidnon province this year. Ritchie Guno, Department of Science and Technology (DOST) provincial director for Bukidnon, said the collaboration between the local government of Pangantucan and the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) involves the use of specialized drones to reforest targeted areas. "The reforestation project will cover four hectares of Mt. Kalatungan ranges (out of the 21,000 hectares). DOST allocated PHP1.2 million, but the counterpart of the LGU is P3.3 million, and PAMB worth P1.1 million," Guno said in an interview Wednesday. The project will be carried out by the forestry firm Galansiyang, which was one of the DOST-incubated startup firms whose founders were students of Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology. Guno said Galansiyang already had clients in other Mindanao regions, yielding an average of 80 to 90 percent success rate in reforesting land areas with the use of drones. In drone-assisted planting, seeds are processed to become "seed balls," to be loaded in the drone container and dispersed in the target area. The Pangantucan project aims to train 370 participants in seed ball production -coating the seeds with soil and organic manure and has a target of 12,000 seed balls for reforestation. Guno said the seed ball will be prepared by the community consisting of students from Bukidnon Community College, PAMB staff and Indigenous People (IP). Among the seeds that will be dispersed are
