There were lots of landslides happened around the country. One of the provinces that experienced a tragic incident was in Leyte from year 2006 up to present (recent was in Baybay Leyte last April 12, 2022). Landslides have claimed the lives of many people and buried their town. The authorities blamed it on the loss of the trees due to the illegal logging. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) had long imposed a ban on illegal logging especially on the mountainsides to prevent landslides especially during rainy season. What is the role of the trees that could have prevented the incident happened in Leyte? How does this help in the prevention of landslides?
