CABANATUAN
CITY – Illegal logs worth at least P1.8 million have been seized by government
operatives in Nueva Ecija following a series of operations in the province
since last month.
Maximo Dichoso, Central Luzon executive
director of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), said
the 30-day campaign codenamed “CamPlan NE2012” is aimed at neutralizing
syndicates operating in Gen. Tinio, a known hotbed of illegal logging.
Gen. Tinio and the towns of Bongabon and
Gabaldon have been classified by the DENR as illegal logging hotspots.
He said the campaign has so far resulted in
the seizure of about 20,000 board feet of forest contraband, 8,024 board feet
of premium hardwood dipterocarp valued at P500,000, and 329 sacks of charcoal.
