The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is a government agency based in the Central Visayas region of the Philippines. It is responsible for conserving, managing, and sustainably using the country's environment and natural resources, including forest and grazing lands, mineral resources, and lands of the public domain, as well as licensing and regulating these resources under applicable laws to ensure benefits are shared across generations. The agency operates under EO 192, s. 1987, with objectives that include maintaining resource availability through prudent use and restoration, increasing productivity to meet population-driven demand, and conserving representative terrestrial and marine areas. 

Its work serves the public and multiple sectors reliant on natural resources, including local governments and communities, by balancing conservation with development and providing regulatory oversight. Positioned within the government administration sector, it guides policy, resource management, and climate-related initiatives that support national economic and social development and promote equitable access to resources. In 2026, the DENR Climate Change Service partnered with The Ocean Cleanup to address plastic pollution in the Pasig River and Manila Bay region, illustrating its active engagement in environmental governance.
