Aboitiz Land’s Enduring Commitment to Marine Life
Aboitiz Land’s dedication to marine life conservation is deeply rooted in the understanding of the crucial interplay between coastal ecosystems and the well-being of communities. Through initiatives like the Coastal Cleanup 2.0 and Pawikan Nature Reserve, it shows a holistic approach to environmental sustainability and safeguarding marine life for current and future generations.
Coastal Cleanup 2.0: Aboitiz Land and Stakeholders in Action
Aboitiz Land’s environmental conservation efforts at Seafront Residences have been recognized with the prestigious Silver Award in the Environmental Category at the FIABCI Philippines Property and Real Estate Excellence Awards 2022.
Aboitiz Land, in collaboration with the Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (AFI) and Communities Organized for Resource Allocation (CORA) Nonprofit, led the Coastal Cleanup 2.0 initiative at Seafront Residences on October 7, 2023, underscoring its unwavering commitment to marine life conservation.
The initiative aimed to not only clean the coastline but also to gather valuable information for future efforts. This data will contribute to a more targeted and sustainable approach in the conservation of marine life.
Capacity Development (CapDev) programs and Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) activities were also implemented to promote environmental responsibility among participants.
Yhol Colegado, Manager of Aboitiz Equity Ventures’ Reputation Management – Sustainability Team, represented AFI, a longstanding partner of CORA Foundation since 2018, in spearheading the Clean Seas Pilipinas initiative, prioritizing sustainable waste management solutions.
The event brought together a diverse group, including members from partnering organizations, Seafront Residences homeowners, and key institutions like the Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary, Local Barangay, Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office, Municipal Administrator, and Department of Education.
Coastal Cleanup 2.0 at Seafront Residences showcases Aboitiz Land’s ongoing dedication to sustainability, reflecting their proactive approach to preserving our coastal ecosystems.
Sustaining Pawikan Protection at Seafront Residences
Nestled at the core of Seafront Residences lies the Pawikan Nature Reserve, designated as a critical nesting site for endangered pawikans. Upholding the cleanliness of these coastal regions is integral to ensuring the preservation of the pawikans’ natural habitat.
Having already culminated in February 2023, Seafront Residences’ dedicated five-year Pawikan Conservation Project implemented educational programs and hands-on involvement in releasing and safeguarding pawikan hatchlings.
Ongoing initiatives, including regular coastal cleanups, are set to continue in the coming years, ensuring the sustained protection of both the pawikans and their coastal habitats.
The steadfast dedication of Aboitiz Land at Seafront Residences not only enhances the coastal biodiversity but also sets an inspiring example for coastal communities across the Philippines. This approach highlights Seafront Residences’ significant role in coastal cleanup and the protection of endangered pawikans, reflecting Aboitiz Land’s commitment to environmental sustainability and care for both human and marine life.
