Kawayan para sa Kalikasan at Kabuhayan aims to restore barren areas along lahar flows and sand mining sites using bamboo. This initiative not only prevents erosion and sudden lahar flows but also creates sustainable livelihoods. With over 1,000 hectares requiring replanting, the project will establish community-based bamboo nurseries and Bambusetums to promote environmental restoration, preservation, and job opportunities.
