It is generally flat at the midsection, between mountain ranges, with other small coastal plains on the northeastern coast. These areas are circumscribed by rolling hills. The ravines are deep, while steep slopes are covered only by cogon. Mangroves and nipa swamps form along both coasts of the province.
 
Two mountain ranges also envelop the province. The Tangkong Baka mountain range, the lower portion of the Sierra Madre Mountain system, and the Calinigan Mountain Range (904 meters) are located in the Partido area. Other mountains in the province are Mt. Sugutin (366 meters), Mt. Tiis (610 meters), Saddle Peak (1,028 meters), Triple Peak (638 meters), Mt. Putianay (640 meters), Mt. Elizario (508 meters), and Mt. Talitig (385 meters). ]]> 2022-03-01 05:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_dimalnat/2NUR3_DIMALNAT/wish/2070852105 alicia_dimalnat https://padlet.com/alicia_dimalnat/2NUR3_DIMALNAT/wish/2070853917 The province's water resources, both ground and surface waters, are abundant and could very well meet the various demands of development. There are also numerous hydroelectric potential resources and large areas for irrigated area development and expansion.
 
 Its inland waters consist of rivers, streams, and creeks that serve as natural drainage, particularly in the basin area. There are also three fresh-water lakes, namely, Lake Bato, Lake Buhi, and Lake Baao, with a combined surface area of 5,482 has.
 
 The Bicol River, the largest river in the region, is considered the main drainage channel for the major basin area of the Bicol Plains. With an approximate length of 95 kilometers, it begins at the outlet of Lake Bato and flows across the plain to San Miguel Bay. Its tributaries have formed the famous Bicol River Basin, comprising 312,000 hectares of fertile agricultural land, including 185,000 hectares of a watershed.

Camarines Sur is the largest among the six provinces in the Bicol Region both by population and land area.

There are also several mountains in the province housing various rainforest and diverse animal and plant species. ]]> 2022-03-01 07:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_dimalnat/2NUR3_DIMALNAT/wish/2070947552 alicia_dimalnat https://padlet.com/alicia_dimalnat/2NUR3_DIMALNAT/wish/2070952617 The table above shows the deforestation statistics of Camarines Sur. The two figures presents the tree cover loss data in Naga City, Cam. Sur. and its neighboring municipalities. 

From 2001 to 2020, Naga City lost 147ha of tree cover, equivalent to a 5.8% decrease in tree cover since 2000, and 77.1kt of CO₂ emissions. From 2013 to 2020, 57% of tree cover loss in Naga City occurred within natural forest. The total loss within natural forest was equivalent to 12.0kt of CO₂ emissions.

For the first figure, from 2001 to 2020, Naga City lost 147ha of relative tree cover, equivalent to a 100% decrease since 2000 and 1.1% of the global total.

In Camarines Sur, the top 7 regions were responsible for 54% of all tree cover loss between 2001 and 2019. Lagonoy had the most tree cover loss at 1.65kha compared to an average of 334ha. However, due to its small steps, From 2001 to 2012, Camarines Sur gained 4.04kha of tree cover region-wide equal to 1.5% of all tree cover gain in the Philippines. However, this gain cannot cover its loss. 

From 2001 to 2020, Camarines Sur lost 13.6kha of tree cover, equivalent to a 3.9% decrease in tree cover since 2000, and 7.89Mt of CO₂ emissions.

It is estimated the machine can plant ten seeds per UAV per minute. With this, a billion trees can be planted annually.

Positive impacts:
(1) Economical, works quickly & efficiently, automated
(2) Its mapping technology can be useful to enhance the uptake rates and likelihood of the healthy development of the forest.
(3) The drone fires pods into the ground, which enables the planting of a large number of trees in less time.


Negative Impacts:
(1) It might reduce the traditional way of planting. 
(2) There might be technical difficulties with the systems and the risk of malfunctioning. 

This is beneficial to the deforestation issue in Camarines Sur since a large number of trees were lost. An unmanned device can work quickly as compared to humans.

Positive Impacts:
(1) Prevents illegal deforestation
(2) Halt animal poaching
(3) Enable bio-acoustic monitoring

Negative Impacts:
(1) No negative impacts were cited; however, the devices must be in range for it to work effectively. 

This device is used in the Amazon Forest, and it might also be effective with the Cam.

Technologies such as Geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing can be considered.

A geographic Information  System is a computer-based system comprising hardware,  software,  data, people, and methodology that combine to answer queries of a geographical nature as and when required. GIS  may be considered as the evolution of maps, and Global  Positioning  System is a satellite-based system that gives accurate location information anywhere on earth.   

Positive Impacts:
(1)   It is helpful for an emergency response to locate dangerous points.
(2)   It can find the shortest route for the responders using network analysis.
(3) It can be used for finding evacuation routes and choosing emergency operation centers.

Negative Impacts:
(1) Expensive and it might delay the development of solution if the plan was delayed due to the cost of the technology. 
(2) There are possible inconsistent data that might lead to incorrect responses during emergencies. 
(3) It might be limited to only a certain range of areas.

The information gained from analyzing this data is being shared with other countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region to improve emergency response and develop countermeasures against future quakes.

Positive Impacts:

(2) Analysis of natural disaster are possible, and this will help create solutions and mitigating measures.


Negative Impacts:
(1) There might be hazards associated with the space technology. 

This is utilized in Japan and it might be also helpful in the Philippines, in Camarines Sur and other provinces that are disaster-prone.
