During one of the IATG inspection, the team recovered the shell of a dead freshwater turtle in Matina-Pangi river. Members of the IATG said that the turtle’s death might be caused by the river’s quality which is highly turbid, dark-colored, and foul-smelling.
Freshwater ecosystems near towns and cities are vulnerable to runoff and pollution. Industrial dumping, particulate pollution from combustion engines, and agricultural fertilizers and pesticides end up in rivers and streams.

We also encourage all Dabawenyos to be cognizant of what’s happening around us and participate in ensuring environmental sustainability in the City.
