8. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)

Forest denudation, which is the primary cause of floods and landslides, is the result of export- oriented logging, kaingin, conversion of forested lands to agricultural lands and other non forest uses, expansion of settlements to the uplands, increasing wood requirements, illegal logging- catering to the increasing demand for wood and the growing scarcity of legitimate timber.

The consequences of denudation are :

  • Erosion of steep mountain slopes rendering these incapable of supporting forest re growth by planting.

  • Silted downstream water-bodies become shallow, reducing their capacity to drain off excess water run-off.

  • Magnitude and destructive effects of landslides increase significantly specially if exacerbated by high-intensity rainfall and unstable geologic structure.

  • Loss of biodiversity resources

  • Loss of forest as atmospheric carbon sink.

  • Changes in water system, excessive surface water run-off during rains , and drought during dry season.
