Bulusan Volcano appears to be fenced here in the above photo. Well, in reality it can happen. If and when the Bulusan Geothermal Power Project will be pursued, the area of around 26,000 hectares surrounding the volcano will become a Geothermal Energy Field zone. This means this area will be literally fenced! No entry for even the residents without the consent of the big geo company.
The planned industrial development will convert irrevocably the last remaining rainforest of the Province of Sorsogon from a pristine state to an industrial state. No amount of cosmetic 'greening' will hide this fact.
Hopefully this will not happen with the vigilance of the pro nature conservation sectors of Bulusan and neighboring towns.
