TABLE OF CONTENTS 5 6 7

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Ecosystem services are the benefits people obtain from ecosystems. These include provisioning services such as food and water; regulating services such as flood and disease control; cultural services such as spiritual, recreational, and cultural benefits; and supporting services, such as nutrient cycling, that maintain the conditions for life on Earth.

Biological diversity or Biodiversity means the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems;

Biodiversity conservation refers to the protection, preservation, management, or restoration of wildlife and natural resources such as forests and water;

Comprehensive Land Use Plan – refers to a document embodying specific proposals for guiding, regulating growth and development of a city or municipality. It is comprehensive because it considers all sectors significant in the development process, i.e., demography, socio-economic, infrastructure and utilities, land use and local administration, within the territorial jurisdiction.

Critical habitats are defined under the Wildlife Act (RA# 9147) as “areas outside protected areas under Republic Act 7586 that are known habitats of threatened species and designated as such based on scientific data taking into consideration species endemicity and/or richness, presence of man-made pressure/threats to the survival of wildlife living in the area, among others.”

Key biodiversity areas refer to sites of global significance for biodiversity conservation. They are identified using globally accepted standard criteria and thresholds, based on the needs of biodiversity requiring safeguards at the site scale. These criteria are based on the framework of vulnerability and irreplaceability widely used in systematic conservation planning;

Mainstreaming operationally means extracting, summarizing and synthesizing the highlights of biodiversity conservation challenges and management measures from PAMP, IPAP, FLUP, and ICRMP and “weaving” them in the relevant sections of the CLUP.

National Integrated Protected Areas Systems (NIPAS) is the classification and administration of all designated protected areas to maintain essential ecological processes and life-support systems, to preserve genetic diversity, to ensure sustainable use of resources found therein, and to maintain their natural conditions to the greatest extent possible;

National parkrefers to a forest reservation essentially of natural wilderness character which has been withdrawn from settlement, occupancy or any form of exploitation except in conformity with approved management plan and set aside as such exclusively to 8

conserve the area or preserve the scenery, the natural and historic objects, wild animals and plants therein and to provide enjoyment of these features in such areas;

Natural monument is a relatively small area focused on protection of small features to protect or preserve nationally significant natural features on account of their special interest or unique characteristics;

Natural biotic area is an area set aside to allow the way of life of societies living in harmony with the environment to adopt to modern technology at their pace;

Natural park is a relatively large area not materially altered by human activity where extractive resources uses are not allowed and maintained to protect outstanding natural and scenic areas of national or international significance for scientific, educational and recreational use;

Other areas of high biodiversity values – is an area in a site, management unit or landscape, not otherwise declared as protected areas and critical habitats or identified as key biodiversity areas, for which appropriate management decisions must be taken and implemented in order to maintain or enhance one or more high biodiversity conservation values;

Protected area refers to identified portions of land and water set aside by reason of their unique physical and biological significance, managed to enhance biological diversity and protected against destructive human exploitation;

Protected landscapes/seascapes are areas of national significance which are characterized by the harmonious interaction of man and land while providing opportunities for public enjoyment through recreation and tourism within the normal lifestyle and economic activity of these areas;

Resources reserve is an extensive and relatively isolated and uninhabited are normally with difficult access designated as such to protect natural resources of the area for future use and prevent or contain development activities that could affect the resource pending the establishment of objectives which are based upon appropriate knowledge and planning;

Strict nature reserve is an area possessing some outstanding ecosystem, features and/or species of flora and fauna of national scientific importance maintained to protect nature and maintain processes in an undisturbed state in order to have ecologically representative examples of the natural environment available for scientific study, environmental monitoring, education, and for the maintenance of genetic resources in a dynamic and evolutionary state;

Wildlife sanctuary comprises an area which assures the natural conditions necessary to protect nationally significant species, groups of species, biotic communities or physical features of the environment where these may require specific human manipulation for their perpetuation. 9

MESSAGE 11

Pygmy Forest 1 Context & Rationale

Preparation of the procedural guidelines or manual on “Mainstreaming Biodiversity in the Land Use Planning Process of Local Government Units ” is one of the components of the project on “Partnerships for Biodiversity Conservation: Mainstreaming in Local Agricultural Landscapes”, otherwise known as the Biodiversity Partnerships Projects (BPP).” This project is being implemented by the DENR through the Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB) (formerly Protected Area and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB)) and funded by a grant from the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The design of the guideline is basically centered on the integration of biodiversity concerns in local land use and development planning process. Hence, the focus of planning is on areas which have been known and established to be endowed with a rich variety of species of plants and animals and those that provide ecological services that are gradually being transformed into settlements, agricultural and fishery uses.

1.1 Need to Capacitate LGUs on Biodiversity Conservation

The key objective of the BPP is to partner and capacitate the LGUs in the national government’s efforts in conserving and protecting 12

biodiversity within proclaimed protected areas, key biodiversity areas, critical habitats and other areas of high biodiversity values that are not yet declared legally as protected areas. Meantime, it has been revealed by the BMB and its partner NGOs that some of the undeclared biodiversity-rich areas are continuously being fragmented and converted to settlements and production land uses. This trend which is observed in terrestrial and coastal and marine ecosystems very much threatens the diversity of plants and wildlife species and the gene pools found therein. Conversion of the landscapes and seascapes into simplified ecosystems such as agriculture and fishery production areas will eventually result in the irretrievable loss of vital ecosystems that are rich in biodiversity. These biodiversity rich ecosystems provide the much needed life support system and other goods and services that contribute to the well-being of human communities.

Habitat fragmentation is primarily brought about by inadequate policies, tools and capacities to allow full participation of local government units (LGUs) in conserving and protecting their natural assets in the form of biodiversity rich landscapes and seascapes. In this context, the BPP realizes the challenges and importance of overcoming the barriers that LGUs face concerning the management of their biodiversity endowments. One of the strategic interventions identified by the project is the strengthening of the LGUs’ capacity to mainstream biodiversity conservation in their policy-making, planning and program implementation covering biodiversity rich areas within their jurisdiction. Such mainstreaming will empower the LGUs to prepare their land use and development plans which are compatible and coherent with the national policies and framework to conserve and protect critical biodiversity ecosystems. Moreover, the mainstreaming process will institutionalize biodiversity conservation actions in LGU governance system. Through Biodiversity conservation, the ecological and life support services provided by the natural ecosystems to build environments and production areas are sustained. These invaluable services provided by biodiversity makes the landscapes and seascapes sustain their productivity while simultaneously making the locality resilient to natural hazards and natural disasters that are exacerbated by climate change.

1.2 Need for Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation

The primary objective of preparing a procedural guideline for mainstreaming is to provide a step-wise procedure in integrating biodiversity concerns in the preparation of CLUPs and Zoning Ordinances of LGUs. Such important task is undertaken through the partnerships of LGUs, National Government Agencies particularly the HLURB, DENR-BMB, and national and local conservation NGOs. 13

Prior to the preparation of a mainstreaming guideline, the BPP has already prepared the framework and method for mainstreaming biodiversity in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of the LGUs which was approved and adopted by BMB and the HLURB on 31 July 2013. The mainstreaming method was also tested by the BPP staff in selected numbers of LGUs with Protected Areas and Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs).

The formulation of the mainstreaming procedural guidelines is a continuation of the previous study which developed the mainstreaming framework and method. It was deemed imperative under the first project that LGUs with less knowledge and training on biodiversity mainstreaming would greatly benefit from the production of a procedural guideline that they can easily follow. As such, the guideline is designed to provide the detailed steps or How To’s in the mainstreaming process. With this guideline, the LGUs and partner agencies will be confident that the task of mainstreaming can greatly be facilitated.

Pygmy Forest 2 Purpose & Users of the Procedural Guideline

The mainstreaming guideline provides the detailed procedures for integrating or weaving biodiversity concerns and conservation policies and strategies in the CLUP. For every step in the HLURB’s 12- step planning process in the preparation of the CLUP, a case example of how to apply biodiversity integration is provided in the manual. The case examples were actually taken from the selected pilot LGUs covered by the mainstreaming activities of the BPP.

This procedural guideline becomes an official planning instrument of the government when a joint administrative order by the HLURB and DENR for its adoption is issued. Since it is a dynamic planning tool, it was designed to allow easy updating as new information and analytical methods are developed.

2.1 Expected Outcomes of Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation

Mainstreaming of biodiversity in the land use planning process, particularly in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of LGUs, is expected to produce the following outcomes:

• Biodiversity conservation is automatically integrated and becomes an inherent part of the CLUP of LGUs which areas has Protected Areas and/or identified 15

potential KBAs, Critical Habitats (CHs), and other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services. Annex A provides the list of PAs, CHs, KBAs, caves and their corresponding provincial and municipal coverage. • Biodiversity conservation receives regular funding allocation from the LGUs while at the same time generates revenues for its use. • LGUs are provided with a user-friendly tool to systematically carry out biodiversity conservation mainstreaming in the agriculture, agro-forestry and aquatic and other production areas. • CLUP and Protected Area Management Plan (PAMP) are systematically harmonized in the mainstreaming process; in the absence of PAMP such as in the case of localities harboring KBAs, available information on biodiversity is integrated in the zoning scheme of LGUs. • Integration of biodiversity conservation in the local land use planning process is institutionalized thereby ensuring its sustainability. • Local policy and decision making councils of LGUs such as the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) and Sangguniang Bayan (SB) are educated and gain appreciation on the significance of biodiversity in local spatial and development planning.

The mainstreaming guideline also has the following features:

• Provides step wise procedures in mainstreaming • biodiversity using the HLURB 12 step CLUP planning process. For each CLUP planning step, a case example is provided to clearly illustrate how biodiversity is integrated. • A learning tool that is easy to follow for less trained LGU planners and allows flexibility to suit unique situation. • Fits in the existing local planning frameworks and does not introduce a separate planning process. • Planning procedures in CLUP mainstreaming are harmonized with existing PA management planning process for congruence.

16

2.2 Intended Users of the Mainstreaming Guidelines

The guideline is primarily intended for the use of LGU planners as well as other agencies and organizations such as BMB, DENR-CDD, HLURB, NGOs, academe and other stakeholders. Specifically, the manual will help users to:

• Understand biodiversity concepts and the importance of conserving and protecting them. • Be aware of and concerned about of biodiversity resources found in their locality. • Plan and take actions for the conservation and protection of their biodiversity resources. • Learn the potential for generating revenues in the use and management of biodiversity endowments without reducing their ecological integrity. • Integrate biodiversity conservation in strategic spatial and sectoral development planning. • Learn the implications and options of their land use decisions in sustaining the ecological integrity of their natural ecosystems.

Box 1. Areas of High Biodiversity Values

A High Conservation Value Area (HCVA) or an HCV management area is an area in a site, management unit or landscape for which appropriate management decisions must be taken and implemented in order to maintain or enhance one or more High Conservation Values (HCVs). High Conservation Values (HCVs) are biological, ecological, social or cultural values which are considered outstandingly significant or critically important, at the national, regional or global level. The six High Conservation Values are: • HCV 1: Concentrations of biological diversity including endemic species, and rare, threatened or endangered species, that are significant at global, regional or national levels. • HCV 2: Intact forest landscapes and large landscape-level ecosystems including coastal and marine and ecosystem mosaics that are significant at global, regional or national levels, and that contain viable populations of the great majority of the naturally occurring species in natural patterns of distribution and abundance. • HCV 3: Rare, threatened, or endangered ecosystems, habitats or refugia. • HCV 4: Basic ecosystem services in critical situations, including protection of water catchments and control of erosion of vulnerable soils and slopes. • HCV 5: Sites and resources fundamental for satisfying the basic necessities of local communities or indigenous peoples (for livelihoods, health, nutrition, water, etc...), identified through engagement with these communities or indigenous peoples. • HCV 6: Sites, resources, habitats and landscapes of global or national cultural, archaeological or historical significance, and/or of critical cultural, ecological, economic or religious/sacred importance for the traditional cultures of local communities or indigenous peoples, identified through engagement with these local communities or indigenous peoples.

Mapping 3 Mainstreaming Framework

3.1 Principles of Mainstreaming

The mainstreaming framework is guided by the following principles:

• Promote co-management and participatory governance. Stakeholders should be able to participate in the planning, resource sharing schemes and implementation of biodiversity conservation and protection programs. The responsibility in biodiversity conservation and protection should be shared by all the stakeholders. This includes allocating in the LGU regular budget and from the 20% development funds a share for biodiversity conservation. • Translate national biodiversity policies into local actions. The goals and objectives of biodiversity conservation and protection should be localized for implementation on the ground by the combined efforts of the LGUs and national agencies such as DENR and HLURB. • Reduce or eliminate threats to biodiversity resources. The various serious threats to PAs, CHs, KBAs, and other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services must be identified and their root causes defined at the local level in order to find effective long-lasting solutions to them. Fragmentation of KBAs should be avoided by all means. • Protection is the primordial concern in sustaining the ecological services and economic benefits derived from biodiversity. Hence, strict protection zones should be guarded closely to enforce the regulations regarding its 19

management. Resources must be harnessed to protect habitats of endangered and rare species including keystone species. Likewise, sensitive environments (e.g., corridors, riverine areas, steep or erodible lands, mangroves, coral reefs, seagrass beds) need strict protection. • Direct and promote sustainable production use in suitable areas in PAs, CHs, KBAs, and other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services such as the multiple use zone and certain portions of the buffer zone to provide livelihood support to upland settlers and indigenous communities. Areas where limited production is allowed needs to be identified, delineated, and mapped out for management purposes. • Uphold the property rights of IPs to their ancestral land and sea domain as provided for in the IPRA but disallow extractive activities in strict protection zone in accordance with existing laws such as the NIPAS and the Revised Forestry Code. The regulations concerning the strict protection zone should be integrated in the IP’s Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP). • Plan and sustain the management of buffer zone to properly shield PAs, CHs, KBAs, and other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services against encroachment. Maintain wildlife corridors to provide habitat connectivity and allow freely the movement of wildlife. • Recognize and mitigate the negative impacts of land and water use activities in watersheds, upstream and areas adjacent to PAs, CHs, KBAs, and other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services such as siltation of corals, pollution of pristine lakes, spread of pests and diseases and exotic plant and animal species. Prevent the introduction of non-native species in PAs, CHs, KBAs, and other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services. • Institute system for surveillance, monitoring and law enforcement in strict protection zone for collaborative undertaking of concerned institutions and local community organizations. Local stakeholders must be educated and mobilized to enforce protection and conservation measures in PAs, CHs, KBAs, and other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services.

3.2 Issues and Concerns Addressed by Mainstreaming Biodiversity

Mainstreaming biodiversity aims to address key issues and concerns on biodiversity conservation at the local level. The formulation of the approach and methods for mainstreaming biodiversity concerns would need to be contextualized given the realities on the ground. The issues and concerns that would need to be considered in the design of framework and method for mainstreaming are briefly outlined below.

Key management issues and concerns

• Growing serious threats to PAs, CHs, KBAs, and other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services that are anthropogenic in nature include encroachment by settlements and agriculture/aquaculture; illegal activities in PAs (cutting of trees, excessive and unregulated gathering of non- timber forest products or NTFPs, wildlife poaching and destructive fishing activities, coral gathering, hunting of marine mammals). • Multiple and conflicting land uses in biodiversity rich areas such as mining, tourism development, agriculture/fisheries and human settlements and ancestral claims that the government finds difficulty in regulating. • Creeping impacts of climate change on biodiversity (migration, species lost, infestations, wildfires, coral bleaching, extinction, etc.). • Weak partnership between DENR, LGUs and NGOs in PA management. • Undeclared and unprotected biodiversity rich areas and identified KBAs/other areas of high biodiversity values. • Inadequate understanding by the LGUs that biodiversity is a source of social, economic and financial capital.

The other serious issues identified by BMB (2012) include:

• Fragmentation of PAs, CHs, KBAs, other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services that result in the loss of connectivity between important biodiversity corridors and the destruction of habitats of important endangered species. • Loss of biodiversity resources and ecosystem services (like food, wood and other raw materials, plants, animals, pollination of crops, prevention of soil erosion, water purification, climate regulation, etc.). 21

Planning issues and concerns

The planning issues and concerns that must be addressed in biodiversity conservation include:

• Weak competency of LGU planners in biodiversity conservation planning and management (technical inadequacies). • Data availability and costly resource inventories (satellite and ground resource assessment) mapping and database development that cannot be afforded by LGUs belonging to the lower income classes. • Lack of guidelines on mainstreaming biodiversity conservation in CLUP and CDP. • Weak coordination among DENR, DILG and HLURB in preparing planning guidelines. • Mainstreaming fatigue due to simultaneous integration of different important concerns in the CLUP and CDP such as FLUP, CCA and DRR, BD, Gender, etc.

PA and CLUP issues and concerns

The issues involving the PA and CLUP planning revolve around harmonizing and retrofitting:

• PAMP (ecosystem based), FLUP, ICM and CLUP (city/municipality) • PA zoning and City/Municipal Zoning (allowable and prohibited uses) • PA spatial strategies and programs and CLUP spatial strategies and programs • Land use and zoning conflicts • Coordination among decision making organizations: PAMB and SB/SP

KBAs/Other Areas of High Biodiversity Values and CLUP issues and concerns

• Lack of understanding by LGUs about KBAs/CHs/other areas of high biodiversity values. • Mainstreaming biodiversity is very much constrained by the lack of data (i.e., biodiversity resources information) in non- PAs, CHs, KBAs, and other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services are not properly mapped and zoned by the municipality or city • PAs, CHs, KBAs, and other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services landscapes are rapidly being encroached upon by agriculture and agro- forestry production areas

22

The mainstreaming framework formulated for this study involves identifying the entry points, the type of data and information, the methods for integration, and case examples. In summary, mainstreaming biodiversity will involve the following:

• What to mainstream (data inputs – types, forms and scale) • How to mainstream (planning process, methods and general guidelines for integration) • Results and uses (analysis of results and uses of outputs in planning) • Actual case examples in mainstreaming biodiversity (using the results of pilot mainstreaming work of BPP)

3.3 Objectives and expected outcomes of mainstreaming biodiversity

Why mainstreaming biodiversity is necessary

At present, many of the LGUs which host protected areas merely incorporate available information and maps on protected areas in their CLUPs. The LGU planners integrate these information and data on PAs in their ecological profile and proposed land use plan. However, they simply “cut and paste” PA information without doing deeper analysis on how their proposed land use and spatial development plan can support and enhance the protection and management of PAs. In many cases, they just carve out the extent of PAs as constrained area for development without further evaluating and recommending how the different zonation such as multiple and buffer zones can be put into good and sound uses. It is quite glaring that when CLUPs are reviewed by LGU planners, they lack substantial disposition on how to treat KBAs, other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services in their spatial development plan. First, LGU planners are not able to easily find and include information on KBAs and CHs and other biodiversity data and maps in their CLUPs. Second, they do not know how to treat KBAs when they are given information on these simply because they have ambiguous understanding about KBAs compared to PAs. Some KBAs, particularly important bird areas (IBAS) are point data and LGUs may find them difficult to map without a GIS facility.

Given the above planning situations, the LGU planners need to know the difference between PAs, CHs, KBAs, and other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services to understand and appreciate the importance of integrating these in their CLUPs. They must also be given technical guidance in the form of a tool or guidelines in the integration of biodiversity conservation in their CLUPs.

23

To initiate co-management of biodiversity with LGUs, the DENR needs to capacitate first those LGUs’ hosting important biodiversity areas such as PAs, CHs, KBAs, and other areas of high biodiversity values providing ecosystem services in mainstreaming biodiversity protection in their spatial development and land use planning. In this context, the theme and objective of this study is to provide a tool for mainstreaming and at the same time train key government and LGU planners in applying this tool for melding biodiversity conservation in spatial and land use planning.

The key intention, therefore, is to increase the capacity of the LGUs in mainstreaming biodiversity conservation in production landscapes/seascapes. This objective can be realized through DENR- BMB partnerships with other mandated national government agencies particularly the HLURB and the LGUs.

Through the process of mainstreaming, biodiversity conservation becomes part of local decision making, land use, and development planning at the LGU level. LGUs, local organizations and communities, will have a better understanding and appreciation of the importance of biodiversity thereby facilitating mobilization of their efforts in its protection and conservation.

3.4 Approach and Methods in Mainstreaming Biodiversity

The basic approach to be adopted in mainstreaming biodiversity is to overlay and harmonize existing PAMP/IPAP with CLUP. If there is no PAMP/IPAP yet, what could be overlaid and harmonized would be the PA zoning and sub-zoning with the City/Municipal zoning. For KBAs and non-PAs, the approach would be to review the municipal/city zoning and revise it accordingly to protect biodiversity resources (KBAs) from encroachment and adverse impacts of agriculture and agro-forestry production including settlement uses. This can be done by LGUs in close consultation with DENR by declaring and zoning areas of high biodiversity values as strict forest protection zone or as part of its zoning ordinance provisions and later have these established as Critical Habitat by the DENR.

The existence of PAMP or IPAP covering LGUs with biodiversity resources will greatly facilitate CLUP mainstreaming inasmuch as the inputs needed in terms of data and information are readily available. Availability of PAMP and IPAP will cut down on time and resources needed by LGUs in the mainstreaming process. The PAMP and IPAP planning process and plan content are more or less similar to that of CLUP; hence, many of the information needed in mainstreaming can be extracted directly from these biodiversity plans.

The Table 1 shows the PAMP Planning Process and Plan contents and where these will fit into the CLUP process and plan content. The list of PAs with PAMP and IPAP is provided in Annex A. As of November 2015, there are a total of 240 PAs in which 64 PAs has Management Plan (PAMP), 109 PAs with Initial PA Plan (IPAP) and 5 PAs are under OGAs (Other Government Agencies).

The design of the framework and method for biodiversity mainstreaming will be applicable to the following types of biodiversity-rich areas:

• All Protected Areas (PAs) with PAMP or IPAP whether approved or not; • Identified key biodiversity areas (KBAs) including biodiversity corridors and conservation areas which have not yet been proclaimed and declared but already mapped and with or without proposed IPAP; and • Other terrestrial and aquatic/marine areas assessed to be of high biodiversity values.

26

In the spatial analysis component of the mainstreaming, the map locating the areas covered by NIPAS will be overlaid with the LGU land use maps. It will also make an overlay of the maps showing the location of the 128 KBAs with the LGUs’ existing land use map. This map will serve as the basis for the analysis of biodiversity resources and the potential conflicting uses and undesirable impacts of existing and proposed land uses to PAs/KBAs/CH/other areas of high biodiversity values. Planning for harmonization and sustainable development follows.

The key roles of mandated agencies in the mainstreaming process are defined in Table 2.

4.1 Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation Guide Matrix

Mainstreaming biodiversity conservation in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) is consistent with the general land use planning process as shown in Figure 1. The guidelines and procedures for mainstreaming biodiversity into the CLUP adopted the HLURB’s 12- Step CLUP Process (HLURB, 2016) which is being widely used by LGUs in the preparation of their CLUPs. Because of the LGUs’ familiarity with the HLURB’s template for planning process and procedures, the integration of biodiversity concerns is expected to be very much facilitated.

Table 3 contains the entry points in the CLUP planning process and the chapter of the plan; what to mainstream in terms of biodiversity concerns and data inputs needed and their sources; how to mainstream, which describes the process and methods of mainstreaming; and the outputs of the mainstreaming for every stage or step of the CLUP planning process.

4.2 Mainstreaming Biodiversity Guidelines and Procedures

Mainstreaming Biodiversity Defined

Mainstreaming biodiversity operationally means extracting, summarizing and synthesizing the highlights of biodiversity conservation challenges and management measures from PAMP, IPAP, FLUP, ICMP, and other biodiversity conservation plans and weaving them in the relevant sections of the CLUP (Cabrido, 2013). When this process is done, the resulting CLUP becomes sensitized and responsive to biodiversity conservation imperatives in the locality. “Weaving” of biodiversity concerns in the CLUP planning process simply means the integration of biodiversity elements in the planning activities of the LGUs. Weaving operationally refers to three ways of mainstreaming: 1) inserting phrases, sentences and paragraphs in certain parts of the CLUP to account for biodiversity challenges, objectives, policies, strategies; 2) integrating a whole section or subsection on biodiversity conservation policies and challenges in selected chapters or sections of the plan; and 3) relating and synthesizing biodiversity analysis to land use and spatial development plan as well as anticipating the implications or consequences of local development plan and programs to the integrity of biodiversity ecosystems.

By mainstreaming biodiversity, the planning and decision-making of local authorities systematically carry with it and directly address the critical concerns on biodiversity conservation and the impacts of proposed land use and spatial development on the integrity of pristine ecosystems. Mainstreaming is also backed by scientific data thereby providing a solid ground for analysis and recommendations of appropriate measures. Through the mainstreaming process, biodiversity conservation becomes an integral part of policy, decision and planning process of LGUs (Cabrido, 2013).

Structure of Mainstreaming Biodiversity Guidelines and Procedures

Mainstreaming biodiversity guidelines and procedures are presented in the following structure and logical sequence:

• Entry Point in the CLUP Planning Process. This is the step in the HLURB planning process where biodiversity concerns are integrated. A brief description of the HLURB step is provided to refresh the planners. • Key activities involved. These are the man activities to be undertaken by the LGU planning team in the process of mainstreaming biodiversity. It illustrates how biodiversity is “weaved” in the main activities in CLUP planning under a given planning step. • Chapter for Mainstreaming. This simply identifies the chapter in the CLUP report where the biodiversity concerns will be integrated. • What biodiversity concerns to mainstream and Data inputs needed and sources. The specific biodiversity concerns or inputs to be mainstreamed are identified. The data needed for biodiversity analysis and their sources are identified. • How to Mainstream. This part describes the process and methods to be used for mainstreaming and the activities involved. It is closely related to the step on “Key activities involved,” hence, some of those listed under this are further reiterated. • Outputs of mainstreaming process for the particular CLUP Planning Step. This portion describes the outputs of mainstreaming and the uses of these in CLUP planning. • Case example in mainstreaming biodiversity in CLUP. This part illustrates how biodiversity concerns are actually integrated into the CLUP. It will use the results of the pilot tests of BPP-BMB in selected LGUs covered by the project.

This procedural guideline is designed to be user-friendly with clear instructions supported by examples and diagrams. The step by step procedures in mainstreaming will be carefully laid down in layman’s language whenever possible for the easy comprehension of the LGUs. Boxed information serves to provide clarification and explanation on biodiversity concepts, theories and practices. This will help LGU planners gain better understanding of biodiversity concerns being mainstreamed.

ANNEX C: LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR LAND USE PLANNING

Land use planning in relation to environment and natural resources conservation has its legal basis in the Local Government Code of 1991. Under this law, the responsibility for fisheries and coastal resource management within municipal waters was devolved to LGUs. The LGUs are also given the power to identify and establish MPAs through the passage of city/municipal ordinances.

The following sections of the Local Government Code refer to the consideration of environment and natural conservation and protection in local development planning and program implementation:

• Municipal and City Mayor: Sec. 444 (b)(3)(vii) and Sec. 455 (b) (3) (vii)- “Adopt adequate measures to safeguard and conserve land, mineral, marine, forest, and other resources of the municipality.”

• Sangguniang Bayan and Panglungsod: Sec. 447 (a)(1)(vi)] and Sec. 458 (a) (1) (vi) - “Protect the environment and impose penalties for acts which endanger the environment, such as dynamite fishing and other forms of destructive fishing, illegal logging and smuggling of logs, smuggling of natural resources products and of endangered species of flora and fauna, slash and burn farming, and such other activities which result in pollution, acceleration of eutrophication of rivers and lakes, or of ecological imbalance.”

• Sec 468(a)(1)(vi) – Mandates Provincial Sanggunian to Protect the environment and impose appropriate penalties for acts which endanger the environment…

• Sec 3(i) – LGUs shall share with the national government the responsibility in the management and maintenance of the ecological balance within their territorial jurisdiction, and

• Sec 468(a)(2)(vi) – LGUs to prescribe reasonable limits and restraints on the use of property within the jurisdiction of the province.

The LGUs are also given the power to generate and apply resources (Section 18). Under this provision, the LGUs are given the power and authority “to establish an organization that shall be responsible for the efficient and effective implementation of their development plans, program objectives and priorities; to create their own sources of revenue and to levy taxes, fees and charges which shall accrue exclusively for their use and disposition and shall be retained by them.” Likewise, Section 129 stipulates that the LGUs have the power to create sources of revenues. Through these provisions, the LGUs can generate funds to support their biodiversity protection programs. For instance, they can charge fees for ecological services provided by protected watersheds, mangroves and coral reefs.

Another relevant provision is Part II, Sec. 2d, Rules and Regulations Implementing RA 8371 which states that the “management plans of ancestral domains/lands shall be integrated into the CLUP of the LGU having territorial jurisdiction over them.”

The Fisheries code of 1998 (RA 8550) mandates LGUs to designate at least 15% of municipal waters for fish refuges or sanctuaries and 25-40% of fishing grounds as mangrove reserves. This mandate supports the establishment of MPAs by the LGUs.
