Good afternoon,
Im doing a research on the beach forest tree, Bani Tree (Pongamia Pinnata) and I would like to know where there's abundance of this (natural or planted/man made plantation). Since it serves as protection against floods or storm surges and is also a source of oil/biofuel.
I actually found some but would like to know more details and more locations:
bawok bawok beach in leyte
along davao river(was planted by denr for disaster prevention years ago)- would like to know location of this along the river
thanks you
