Since LEAR’s adoption of the Brgy. Biasong Mangrove Site through the Project Mangrove Management Optimization for a Resilient Ecosystems MORE, in partnership with the Biasong Active Women’s Association (BWA) and the BLGU Biasong, the firm seeks to extend their mangrove growing and conservation efforts to Brgy. Cotcot, Liloan, Cebu, Philippines.
