Link Impact participated in a roundtable last August in Samal City, Philippines, focused on climate change and ecological preservation. This discussion, held in a spirit of friendly cooperation among Samal City officials and the departments of tourism and environment, aimed to explore sustainable development strategies to address the ecological impacts of climate change.
Samal Island is located in Davao Gulf, Philippines, and is a renowned tourist destination known for its beautiful marine ecosystem and diverse coral reefs. The pristine waters surrounding the island host rare marine species, including dugongs, coral reefs, and tropical fish, making it a highly valuable ecotourism site.
However, Samal Island faces the direct impacts of climate change, underscoring the critical need to preserve its ecological value. Local officials have expressed concern over environmental changes such as coral bleaching and the decline in marine species, recognizing the need for a balanced ecotourism model to maintain the island's appeal as a tourist destination.
During the roundtable, Link Impact emphasized the importance of responsible participation from both local residents and tourists to enable Samal Island to evolve as an eco-friendly tourist destination that responds to climate challenges. The organization also committed to ongoing cooperation with the Philippine government and the local community in these efforts.
