Efforts were being made to address these issues through legislation, conservation initiatives, and awareness campaigns, but sustainability remained a significant concern.

In Nepal, deforestation due to logging and agricultural activities, as well as improper land management practices, such as overgrazing and steep slope cultivation, are significant contributors to soil erosion. In Bhutan, similar issues related to deforestation, unsustainable agricultural practices, and infrastructure development, such as roads and hydropower projects, are causing soil erosion.

Situated on the western fringes of the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Philippines experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activity. The Benham Plateau to the east in the Philippine Sea is an undersea region active in tectonic subduction. Around 20 earthquakes are registered daily, though most are too weak to be felt. The last major earthquake was the 1990 Luzon earthquake.

Cebu's broad alluvial plains are made of upper and lower river terraces. Coastal alluvial plains along the shore interchange with tidal flats or limestone terraces.

Cebu has deposits of both metallic and non-metallic minerals. Among the metallic mineral deposits in Cebu are gold, copper, silver, and other non-ferrous metals. Among Cebu's non-metallic resources are dolomite, silica, red clay, phosphate and guano.

It is only four watersheds proclaimed but... it has 6 watershed areas.

-Midwest Cebu : Largest! covered by the central cebu Nat. Park with only one fixed exit point and that is in Asturias-Balamban border.

-Malubog : Partially covered by Central Cebu Nat. Park, it is where Malubog man-made lake located.

-Mananga : covered also by Central Cebu Nat. Park extending from Sudlon down to Manipis-Mananga area.

-Kot-kot-Lusaran : partially covered by the Central Cebu Nat. park and extending to Liloan.

-Buhisan : a small watershed covered by the Central Cebu Nat. park. MCWD water source.(dried easily when summer)

-Carcar : the farthest among other watershed, it has extended from the mountains of San-Fernando, Pinamungahan and Carcar.

Agenda 21 or PA21 is an Executive Order signed into law by President Fidel Ramos on the insistence of the United Nations to sign on the Philippines to what is known as Sustainable Development. This term however is not what it means at face value.

It is a globalist banker plan under the design of David Rockefeller to allocate all land and resources, moving people off outlying areas by sanctioning large parcels of land called "carbon sinks" making them banned from human settlement. The actual plan of Agenda 21 is to consolidate people into densely populated mega cities to where people can be controlled and monitored with an ultimate plan on genocide to reduce the population of the planet by at least 90%.
