湿地国际警告切勿在利瓜桑沼泽进行勘探

菲律宾湿地国际组织于3月30日周一发出警告,反对在中东能源危机背景下重新在利瓜桑沼泽(Ligawasan Marsh)开展石油和天然气勘探。该组织表示,不受监管的活动可能污染该国生物多样性最丰富的湿地之一,加剧洪水灾害并释放储存的碳。他们敦促政府优先考虑可再生能源,而非冒破坏脆弱生态系统的风险。

菲律宾湿地国际组织发表声明,对重新在棉兰老岛中南部最大的沼泽地——利瓜桑沼泽进行油气勘探表示担忧。该非营利组织警告称,不受监管的开采可能会污染该国生物多样性最丰富的湿地系统之一,增加洪水风险并释放储存的碳。

“利瓜桑沼泽是一个不可替代的生态系统……它是社区、野生动物和我们气候适应能力的生命线,”该组织国家经理安娜德尔·卡班班(Annadel Cabanban)博士说。邦萨摩罗环境部2025年报告称,第一季度的生物多样性评估记录了超过3000个物种。

此次预警正值能源危机之际,该危机由2月28日美以对伊朗的袭击引发,导致全球石油供应中断,并促使小费迪南德·马科斯(Ferdinand Marcos Jr.)总统宣布国家进入能源紧急状态。2023年,SK利瓜桑油气公司(SK Liguasan Oil and Gas Corporation)在能源部的石油服务合同下,在哥打巴托盆地委托其首台钻井平台,覆盖面积达7.2万公顷。

湿地国际呼吁在进行任何资源勘探前进行彻底的环境评估并咨询专家。该组织强调了区域可再生能源模式,例如越南的太阳能扩张和印尼的微电网,以实现公正转型。

“我们承受不起破坏一个保护我们免受洪水侵害、支持渔业并储存大量碳的生态系统的后果,”卡班班补充道。
