BAGUIO CITY, Benguet, Philippines — The conversion of Cordillera forests into farms, with an annual rate of 8.64 hectares of lost timberland, will impact 13 major river systems in Luzon, a group of researchers revealed on Tuesday. This prompted this city and its neighboring Benguet towns of Tuba and Itogon to join hands and preserve the watershed of Kennon Road's Bued River system using new data and a management plan drawn up by Project Danum, a multidisciplinary study group of the University of the Cordilleras that was funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
