BY MARICAR ARANAS

The Oriental Negros government is interested in helping the ongoing wildlife conservation efforts at the Mt. Kanlaon Natural Park, Gov. Emilio Macias II said yesterday.

Members of the Natural Park Management Board called on Macias recently and he told them he understands the role of the Protected Area Management Board on protected areas.

He, however, said local officials should be given more powers to manage the natural park, and besides, local residents know this better than people from other agencies.
