A large number of staff at DSM Nutritional Products in Makati City in the
Philippines put together a plan to tackle the problem of erosion on the
beautiful island of Busuanga. The problems occurred in places where trees had
been burnt down in order to make way for agriculture. The initiative involves
planting new (mahogany) trees and a program to educate the local community.
Once the trees are fully developed, local residents will be allowed to fell a
(modest) number of them for sale.
