Editor's Notes
- Tarlac, officially the Province of Tarlac is a landlocked province in the Philippines located in the Central Luzon region. Its capital is the city of Tarlac. It is bounded on the north by the province of Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija on the east, Zambales on the west and Pampanga in the south.
- The terrain is one continuous and expansive plain. Mountain ranges are situated only on the boundary with Zambales where the Zambales range divides the two provinces. As of 2000, 26 % of Tarlac was tree cover and 12 of Tarlac’s total tree cover was primary forest.
- Even though most of the provinces’ geographical area is plain, and only a small portion is tree cover or forest, the province still suffer from deforestation especially in towns of San Jose and Capas. One of the biggest contributors of deforestation in Tarlac is the Kaingin system, which is a farming system based on shifting, or slash and burn clearing of forest. The peak fire season typically begins in mid February and lasts around 13 weeks. In 2020, Tarlac lost 132ha of natural forest, equivalent to 69.3kt of CO₂ emissions.
- Because of the rampant deforestation happening in the province, reforestation projects were launched to boost Tarlac’s greening program like for example’ The provincial government of Tarlac, in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), launched on Wednesday (June 30, 2021) the 'Adopt-A-Forest' project along the five-kilometer stretch of the Tarlac-Zambales road in San Jose town. Different groups or 'adopters' including government agencies, police offices, religious organizations, civil society organizations, and private business entities participated in a planting activity.Â
- Because of the initiative of the provincial government, DENR and other agencies, both in the government and in the private sector, the tree cover/ forest areas of Tarlac is slowly recovering from deforestation.
