The DENR-CENRO Baguio City serves as the primary gateway for environmental governance at the community level. As part of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), this office is tasked with the critical responsibility of managing and protecting the city's remaining natural resources, particularly its forest lands and watersheds. Given Baguio's status as a highland city, CENRO plays a pivotal role in preventing forest fires, monitoring illegal tree cutting, and enforcing environmental laws that protect the region's unique ecosystem.
