The Protected Areas Commission (PAC) on Saturday opened a new office at 56 Commercial Block, Lethem, Region Nine.
The Department of Public Information (DPI) said that the $60 million office has been established as one of the measures to strengthen the commission’s ability to monitor and carry out conservation activities in the nearby Kanuku Mountains Protected Area (KMPA).
It will also lend support to the Konashen Amerindian Protected Area which is primarily community-managed.
