The UP Disaster Risk and Exposure Assessment for Mitigation Commercial Services (DREAM), through the help of UPERDFI, met with Forest Foundation Philippines (FFP) on September 14. The meeting revolved around a possible collaboration between DREAM and FFP in creating an evaluation and monitoring system on focal forest landscapes in the country using LiDAR technology. This could be a breakthrough project of the two institutions in making forest management more sustainable and effective. EJ dela Cruz
