NATURE’S JEWEL FOR RESILIENCE
By Duoi Ampilan
Bulusan Lake: A Jewel of Nature’s Resilience
Nestled within the lush rainforests of Bulusan Volcano Natural Park in Sorsogon lies a breathtaking testament to Earth’s ancient power, Bulusan Lake.
Formed thousands of years ago by volcanic forces, this 3,673-hectare serene body of water is cradled by mist-kissed forests, a living reminder of nature’s ability to create beauty from chaos.
As I approached the lake, its emerald-green waters shimmered under the soft light, mirroring the dense canopy that embraced it.
The air was alive with the symphony of the rainforest such as the birdsong, rustling leaves, and the distant murmur of flowing streams, a harmony that resonated deep within me.
In that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace, as if the land itself was whispering its timeless secrets.
Speaking with a local park staff, I learned that Bulusan Lake and its surrounding rainforest are protected under the care of the Local Government and conservation NGO.
This vibrant ecosystem is a sanctuary for diverse flora and fauna, each species playing a vital role in maintaining the delicate balance of this natural haven.
For those who seek communion with nature, Bulusan Lake is more than a destination. It is a living paradise. A place where the earth’s raw beauty endures, inviting us to pause, reflect, and remember our shared duty to protect such wonders for generations to come.
Let us celebrate the beauty of of our nature. Our passion for it already makes the world a little greener. 🌿
