The Nayong Pilipino Foundation (NPF), in partnership with Philippine Parks and Biodiversity (PPB) organized an Umpukan sa Nayon last October 10, 2020 via Zoom.
Titled “Umpukan sa Nayon: Makakalikasang Nayon,” the goal of the consultation was to engage experts in a discussion that will aid NPF in promoting and amplifying citizen-led biodiversity conservation in the future Nayong Pilipino Cultural Park and Creative Hub to be located in Entertainment City in Parañaque.
The discussion was anchored to the three main questions, What is the importance of urban parks? What policies are needed to ensure that the public can have more urban parks? How should the NPF property be transformed as a space for citizen-led biodiversity conservation?
The Umpukan ran from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, divided into three episodes with one-hour intervals each.
The morning session was titled “Episode 1: Citizen-led Biodiversity Conservation and the State” Moderated by PPB trustee Carlo Delantar, the Umpukan discussed how the future NPF park can be made into a learning space that promotes biodiversity conservation through the point-of-view of the members of the state. The invited speakers were Dr. Benjamin Vallejo Jr. from the University of the Philippines Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology, Rey Aguinaldo and Carlito Castañeda both from DENR, and Julienne Baldonado from NPF's Cultural Leadership Institute.
