It’s been a year since the “Making space for PH rivers”. We are now working with the @DENROfficial in “Reconfiguring River Management in the Philippines” co-funded by @UofG_SciEng_IAA. This workshop gathered river basin managers from all over the country to talk about our rivers.

#ProjectPAMANA Today we met Leonard - he runs this gold processing mill. All mechanical and hydraulic ore separation. He is a 1/10th owner. The waste is copper rich - but hard to sell. Occasionally a Chinese buyer comes through and collects it - otherwise it’s dumped in the river
