Regional Executive Director, Department of Environment and Natural Resources IV-A (CALABARZON)
Si Dr. Henry Astoveza Adornado ang kasalukuyang Regional Executive Director ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Region IV-A CALABARZON. Ipinanganak sa Quezon Province, si Dr. Adornado ay may malawak na pinag-aralan sa pangangasiwa ng kapaligiran at likas na yaman. Nakuha niya ang kanyang Forest Ranger Certificate at Forestry Degree mula sa University of the Philippines Los Baños noong 1991 at sa De La Salle Araneta University, noong 1994.
Pinalawak din ni Director Adornado ang kanyang karanasan sa ibang bansa nang mabigyan siya ng scholarship para sa Master's degree sa Agriculture sa Ibaraki University, Japan kung saan siya nagtapos noong 2006. Pagkatapos, kinuha niya ang kanyang doctorate na may major sa Environmental Science sa United Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, sa Japan din. Natapos niya ang kanyang Doctor of Philosophy noong March 2009.
Ang serbisyo publiko para sa pangangalaga at konserbasyon ng kapaligiran ang naging pundasyon ng karera ni Director Adornado. Pumasok siya sa serbisyo sa gobyerno noong 1996 bilang contractual forester sa pamamagitan ng Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) ng DENR sa Real, Quezon at kalaunan ay naging regular bilang Forester I noong December 1997. Ang pagtatrabaho sa CENRO-Real sa loob ng apat na taon ay nagpatibay sa kanyang kaalaman at karanasan kaugnay ng napapanatiling paggamit, pagpapaunlad, pangangalaga at pangangasiwa ng ENR. Pagkatapos, sumali siya sa Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) noong 2000 at sa DENR Region 4A noong 2009 hanggang 2013. Naglingkod din siya bilang Assistant to the Regional Executive Director ng R4A noong July 2013 at bilang Head Executive Assistant ni dating DENR Secretary Ramon JP Paje noong 2014.
Noong January 2015, itinalaga si Director Adornado bilang Director ng Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau. Sa panahon ng kanyang panunungkulan bilang ERDB Director, nagpakilala siya ng ilang inobasyon na nagpatingkad sa ERDB sa publiko at sa mga stakeholder at sumuporta sa paglalathala ng mga scientific at popular na publikasyon na nakatulong na maihatid ang environmental science sa iba't ibang grupo ng mga tao. Sinimulan din niya ang career pathing system na nagbigay-daan sa pagkakaroon ng scientist sa Bureau. Pinangunahan niya ang ERDB upang maging top performing Bureau sa magkakasunod na taon bago siya naitalaga bilang Regional Executive Director ng MIMAROPA Region. Makalipas ang dalawang taon, muli siyang naitalaga sa Research Sector.
Noong January 2022, naitalaga si Director Adornado sa DENR Region 10. Ang kanyang unang taon sa Mindanao ay puno ng mga hamon kung saan nagpakilala siya ng iba't ibang estratehiya kabilang ang pagsasaayos ng mga patakaran kasama ang ibang mga ahensiya upang tugunan ang mga isyu kasabay ng pagpapalakas ng kakayahan ng mga kawani. Dahil dito noong 2024, iginawad ni DENR Secretary Ma. Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga ang Environmental Awards for Governance and Leadership Excellence (EAGLE) ng ahensiya kay RED Adornado bilang pagkilala sa kanyang huwarang kasanayan sa pamumuno, mga pangunahing nagawa at kontribusyon bilang pinuno ng DENR 10 noong 2022. Sa ilalim ng kanyang pamumuno, pinarangalan din ang DENR 10 bilang Best Performing Regional Office para sa 2022 para sa ambag nito sa mahusay at epektibong pagpapatupad ng mga layunin ng department.
Nagsimula sa ibaba, si Forester Adornado ay may hawak na posisyong Director IV. Ang kanyang tagumpay ay sumasalamin sa kanyang sipag, malasakit at kahusayan sa malaking ambag sa pagsusulong ng layunin ng DENR para sa pangangalaga at konserbasyon ng kapaligiran at likas na yaman.
